I've been thinking about buying EYE and this is the most informative video I've found on the game. Strange how it was mostly overlooked by mainstream reviewers. I really appreciate the info, keep up the good work.
Yeah, it's sad how underrated this game is. It's also really cheap, and it goes on sale often so you can get it even cheaper. I'm glad you liked the video, thanks man.
this game is a masterpiece. The verticality gives this sense of oppression, the recoil of the weapons are the best ever, better than Destiny 2, the soundtrack is just amazing, this game transudes atmosphere, in a word:fantastic.
I'm big on cyberpunk game and have played a number of the usual suspects in the genre (Deus Ex, System Shock and a few others) but I've never heard of EYE before, which is strange as I've looked for ages for games related to the cyberpunk genre. I totally agree with the 'Press X to hack' evaluation of console gamers who have never really played a solid game where they really are in control.
You should definitely get E.Y.E., it often goes on sale for $2 or less. And...yeah, a lot of these games, and especially Watch Underscore Dogs really holds your hands. Instead of creating something different and maybe focusing more on the hacking and less on shooting people, Ubisoft decided that they wanted to make a hacker movie for a game and not let people be able to do anything fun. It really makes me upset, because the game could have been something special, but now that's a distant memory.
I've went and bought a copy of the game on Steam (after a long search around all the usual bargain outlets) but couldn't get it at a bargain price, but as long as there's over 30 hours or mentalism & chaos in the game, I'll be happy. Console games these days don't so much hold your had but strap you in, force you to submit your intelligence, abandon your attention and just press a few buttons when you're instructed to or you'll fail and not get the delicious 'achievement' that games are so geared towards these days. You're a failure if you don't get the achievement haha! I think I'm in the same mindset as yourself when a concept of a game sounds absolutely great but you just know it's gonna fail so hard as it's been made for a kid even tho it says 18 on the box. I've been gradually disgruntled over the last 15 years when people show me 'allegedly' ground breaking games (on their console) and it's things I've seen years before, at a better standard and with more control rather than pointless button mashing that triggers streams of attacks or quick time events that seriously boil my piss! Auto combos really piss me off something rotten! It's like 'press A for a 12 year old impressing stream of pre-programmed attack moves' rather than press a combo of 3-4 buttons for a skillful, stylish and control requiring attack combo! The same people tried to impress me with online gaming about 8 years ago and they looked a bit lost when I told them I had been doing it 8-9 years before and with full control of the hosted session to stop cheating and exploits. I didn't have to pay a single penny for it either. The games industry has been flooded with entitled clowns who really need their quickscoping, recovering health and other skill devoid requirements rather than play with skill, hunt for medkits and health packs. I think I could rag on the console industry for weeks if I wanted too with their 'exclusives', out of date as soon as it hits the shelf consoles and other entitlements, but they'll never be likely to lay eyes on games that truly amaze if they thing that consoles are the best thing since sliced bread. As for achievements tho, my greatest achievement in a game was killing 10,000 people in GTA 4 which I was brutally proud of and pleased with. About 7000-8000 of those were done with no weapon at all, just a nice truck hahaha!
I know this game from its release, and I play it from time to time. Me and a few of my friends spent a lot of hours on it. And man your review is the best one I saw on the internet. You made it in 2016, a few years after the game first came out, and I think people (me included) needed these few yers to realize how this game is a masterpeace, a masterpeace that I love even if it has many flaws.
Yeah man, it's a really great game despite it's flaws. Many people think that the story is incoherent, which it's not, it's just kinda hard to read. I usually ignore story elements in most games anyways, so it's not a big deal to me personally. For me though, I really love the gameplay and atmosphere. It just really hits home with me. And thanks man; I watched a few reviews on EYE and I thought that some of them were lacking a little or just weren't covering something that I wanted to see addressed. Looking back on this video, I could have easily made it 40 minutes long if I wanted to go fully into detail about the game, but I was sorta nervous about that. I'm actually working on a review/analysis for another game at the moment. It's a long one and it's taking me a while, but it probably actually will end up being 40 minutes to an hour long.
Here I am commenting on this a year later... only now am I realizing the incredible depth and capabilities of your character, and the story: absolutely mind-blowing! Although it uses the outdated Source Engine, it pushed the software to it's limits. This game was ahead of it's time, and should honestly be revisited and shared!
+Jip Jackson For some reason, I can't reply directly to you, so I hope that you see this. I'm sorry, I can't agree with any of that. If they wanted to, Ubisoft could very well have made the hacking system more interesting, and if you look at the 2012 E3 demo for it, it was a bit more interesting. You had to actually choose which hack you wanted to use. That would make it so that you would have to actually, possibly plan ahead before you jump into a situation. They could've just kept what they had in the demo and it could have made the game much more intuitive and would actually require planning. Alternatively, have a system like Bioshock 2 where you have to press the button at the right time to execute a hack. That could've made the gameplay a bit more tense, requiring the player to pay attention to more than 1 thing at a time. As it is, it's just press a button to do thing. It's Batman levels of gameplay here. Also, a Cyberpunk DayZ might be cool, if it's made by competent developers that aren't the people that make DayZ.
I remember playing this back in 2011 and having a really good time with it. You can actually play multiplayer if you do a few convoluted things. That is how I fist played the game and I am pretty sure its a bit different of an experience. Good review and I am glad people still like this game.
Yeah man, it's a great game. I buy a few copies every year at Christmas and hand them out to friends that don't own the game yet. Glad you liked the video.
You can, but the last time I did that, the game thought that I was cheating and disabled brouzoufs or achievements or whatever. I'm sure there's a way around that, but not including a FoV slider, especially on a PC only game, is just lazy.
You could not be more wrong. Story is fine for those interested in it. I've read enough of the in-game crap and it helps the role-playing aspect to go through the game in a state of dull confusion. Stop worrying and remember. Your legs are OK
As owner of PC and XOne, I agree with you. When I need more freedom and reaction, i go for PC. If I want lazy couch gaming, i go for XBox. Well, at least this was when I had much weaker PC than XOne. Now I´m going for PC (but XOne has great feature - if you got DVD, you don´t have to worry about DRM or on-line only and you can play WHENEVER you want). Also, I might go for this game eventually :) Thanks for great review!
E.Y.E. let's you change the game settings to MAKE it a stealth game if you want to......it's a highly customizable game experience and most ppl don't even realize they can do that. It's rare to see that outside of survival games nowadays and when E.Y.E. came out it was practically unheard of. One of my favorite things about the game tbh.
Glad you came around! This is my Favorited game. It is deserving of so much more praise than it gets! I am such a fan that I buy this game for all of my steam mates just to support the company.
So im not the only one!! Also completely agree about the story in games, I try to skip them as much as I can! Also agree about the overuse of tentacles in lovecraft derived games and movies. I dont find any amount of tentacles scary! Also, your voice is well suited to this
As much as I love that Streum On Studio is getting to make decent Warhammer games, I would love them to do an open-world, cyberpunk game. Given the amount of creativity on display and the complexity of the systems, I think they could make something really amazing, even if it doesn't resemble a full triple-A release as far as graphics and scale.
My basic stealth strategy is cloak, high agility and motra (the silenced smg), you rush to a good spot and take out the enemies one by one with headshots by leaning out from cover. But only if necessary, if you level up enough you can just bypass most enemies
I read from a website a comment where this french guy said that is not the translation that is strange but the original french text is very weird ad well.
If this isnt a stealth game, why does every npc from the beginning tells me to stealth? First mission "Hardly a stealthy entry, please stay quiet while taking down the generators and killing some random punk" After taking one step into the street, the whole level notices me. I have to kill everyone, after that the level is basically empty except for turrets. Second mission "Steal some stuff from the warehouse, its heavily guarded so dont get caught." One step, caught. And the NPC is mad at me for getting caught. Sneaking with light armor, crouched, but no invis or anything because you dont have that from the start. Yet still being seen from further than possible viewrange. Why even have levels if all enemies run at you from the start?
Couldn't tell you my dude. The stealth in E.Y.E. is extremely half-baked, if that. It's technically possible with the cloaking, I'm sure. Even then, I've run into the same thing on the first level even when cloaked. The first enemy I take out with a silenced sniper rifle is enough to rile up all the enemies. Despite the NPC's warnings, stealth is almost never a good option because the system for it sucks unless you put AI on easy in the settings and constantly use cloak.
It kinda set a wrong impression to me at the start. Maybe I have to go at it again with another mindset. From the dialoque it really felt the game wants to be played like Deus Ex. Thanks to your video, I might give this game a third chance.
Ma3ckes Yeah, you'll definitely want to try to come at the game at a different angle. Stealth can work ok at some points, but I find that playing more loudly is a lot more satisfying.
i dont agree with your "controller" comment, its mistake of the devs because they can make lots of combination but they dont, there is games with tons of hotkeys and its manageable. LT+RS LB+RS etc lots can be done for fps genre and i dont enjoy fps on pc because lots of people use cheat programs and it gives me feeling that everyone cheats, i know its not the case but it gives uncomfortable feels so console fps is my choice. also adjusting your speed with leftstick rocks :D
I do agree that it's the developers' faults that there's not a lot of good button combinations or action variety, but even with button combinations, I feel that controllers are a very weak alternative to M+KB, and this is disregarding the fine aiming aspect. I said that there's technically...what, 17 or SINGLE button presses total on a controller? A Keyboard has what...about 100? A mouse can have, depending on the mouse, anywhere between 3-10 buttons, if not more? On top of that, you could also have button combinations on PC, so that would raise the amount of buttons, combinations, and corresponding actions to...fuck man, a really high number. I feel that your justification for playing on console is disingenuous, because there are cheaters that play on consoles as well, but hey, I don't give a shit what platform you play on, because that's your business.
sure keyboard got tons of buttons but what game makes u use all of em or even quarter of em dunno :p maybe some mmo s... yeah cheaters on console too but its kinda easier to spot em and ban em also when u get ur console banned u just cant unlock it gotta sell n buy new console which not many bothers to. maybe i do suck at pc fps but console feels better. also u maybe heard a game called magicka which requires shit load of hotkeys and kinda like endless combination of stuffs and u can play it on consoles its kinda harder but lil harder just sayin
Hey, thanks for the comment and kind words! I'm currently working on another review actually, and I hope to get it out before the end of the month. It'll be a longer video as well.
Great video mate! Also I'm playing the French version of Eye and while it's still a tad confusing, it's more in a mind bending way. The story is def more followable than the english version which at times just seems bonkers.
I think he says you loose the ammo remaining in your clip if you reload (change clip). That's not much true however since you couldn't throw up a half full clip, better have it than nothing if you get out of full clip ...
That makes sense. Your explanation, not his logic. I know some more tactical style shooters have it so you keep your used mags on you if you reload. Off the top of my head, I think maybe Insurgency, Rising Storm 2, and America's Army: Proving Grounds come to mind. It's not that big of a deal in E.Y.E. because armories are around every corner and it's easy to restock from dead enemies anyways.
That ''Press X to hack'' comment does make me think. What would you propose is a good way to handle hacking in gaming? I imagine a minigame, but what kind? I have seen a few games in which the hacking is an old school shooter, which seems kind of silly to me. I think it should be some kind of puzzle game. I am not entirely sure how hacking even works in real life. What do you think would be a good way to handle it?
It depends on what kind of game you're playing to begin with. A slower first person shooter could get away with having minigames that require some modicum of thought put into executing the hack. An easy example is Bioshock. I think that the hacking minigame in that game is difficult enough, but fast enough to complete that it doesn't detract too much, if at all from the base game. Bioshock 2 streamlines this process to a timing minigame that runs in real-time while everything is going on around you, and arguably this method is better. If I had to create some way to "complicate" the hacking mechanics in Watch Dogs, I would probably incorporate something like Bioshock 2's. It requires timing, can be completed in a matter of seconds, and opens up an opportunity for Ubisoft to incorporate their generic upgrade paths that they add to all of their games to make it easier if you're more interested in hacking than you are combat. A hacking system like E.Y.E.: Divine Cybermancy would be, let's face it, probably too complicated and too boring for a mainstream audience. Not to say that I'm smarter than a mainstream audience or anything, it's just that particular minigame wouldn't suit itself well with an action game like Watch Dogs.
Sure, but you can change FOV in Half-Life 2 and Team Fortress 2. That being said, those games are constantly updated by Valve and you can only go between 75 and 90, but I just like options man. It's a pain in the ass to have to go into the console to get a higher FOV. EYE defaults to 90, which is probably fine for most people, but I prefer over 100.
5:44 "... just first person shooters." I think that "first person shooters that have immersive sim elements" might be more accurate, but maybe that too should be an "especially."
Hello man, I really want to give this game a try, since it's so different and I like that in games that weirdness, maybe that's why I love Pathologic so much. But Pathologic, I won't say it had a gripping story, but it had a gripping world, characters, events and the purpose that drove the characters was so humane and deep. I'm still not sure about the driving force in this game and how it pushes you forward. So other than simply killing dudes, is there at least an interesting drive?
I would say that, for me at least, what drove me to continue to play the game was seeing what new environments, characters, and situations you'll run into next. E.Y.E. has an amazing art direction and every level feels quite unique and grand. That's partially why I only presented the first couple levels or so. You'll run into a bunch of different characters that are both humorous and strange. I played this a few times on my own and with friends, and each time we would take time to simply explore the level and look at cool shit. As for other stuff, there are the main missions which will have you infiltrating bases, setting up ambushes on corrupt Secreta soldiers, bribing a corrupt federation officer, etc. a A lot of the missions are interesting simply because of how weird the locations and NPCs are. I recommend downloading the demo on Steam. But the game does go on sale often for $1-2 USD.
Nah, it's ok, the demo made me dislike the game, but you convinced me the game is weird enough to be worth it. It's not expensive, even now. You should take a look into Pathologic though.It's different, the kind of enemies, the nature of the problems in the town makes it unique, terrible combat though as it's not really recommended, not that the game is stealthy, argh, I don't want to spoil stuff, But please give it a look, you might enjoy it. Any game that have you trading a gun for a loaf of bread and makes you still think you had a good deal, is unique enough for me to try.
Rogerio I'll definitely look into it. Pathologic has been a game that I've wanted to try for some time, but I haven't had the time myself to get into it.
Went and bouught the game, yep, having fun, very good game with a lot of depth. The story is weird as hell and not helped by the tiny fonts. But the gameplay carries it very well, you see tangible improvement on your characters when leveling up and researching perks. A bit disappointed by the late game weapons though, because the initial ones are so strong. Dual Wielding is amazing too, high strengh and high accuracy makes you a beast. And I love that OP Magnun that can bring down gunships with two shots. Thanks for the review, I would have ignored the game otherwise.
6:05 That's how ammo works though,unless it's a shotgun or an FPS made in 2001,when you reload you throw away the old clip along with any bullets left in it.
There's a patch/mod out there somewhere that helps with the translation. I think it's on moddb. The story is actually pretty rad, it's just confusing as heck. You have to beat the game multiple times to get all endings.
Uhuh? You realize that Warhammer 40K is built on cliches correct? Genestealers, Space Marines, all taken from popular science fiction tropes. Its gothic style lends itself entirely from its sub genre without adding anything nuanced. In our pop culture filled with Jin-Roh, Star Wars, Helghasts etc. The concept of edge lords in scary black armour and glowing eyes saturates fiction, and is no exception in E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy, which not only takes those cliches, but borderline plagiarizes their designs. Bloodborne has some tentacles in its Gothic Horror inspired by the likes of Bram Stoker turned Howard Lovecraft. But at least as a whole, it takes its inspirational material and spins its own take on it. Bloodborne is inspired. E.Y.E is cliche. Strictly by definition.
plus the fact that its french slang, Brouzoufs are also know for appear in a movie made by three famous humorists (in france of course) in one of their film. you have to actually be french to know the reference :3 anyway, thanks for review, and the hacking shiznit explained.
Excellent review, the game is.. not super forthcoming on what's actually going on at the start. I just played the first 2 levels and I'm still like.. Federation? Jians? EYE? Oururous?
Not really. There's a fisheye lens remover mod which removed the fisheye effect on weapon scopes and whatnot, but it wasn't a big deal for me. As well, there's a mod which "fixes" the translations in a lot of the text and whatnot. It can definitely help if you don't understand what's going on, but I think that it loses some of the charm if you do that.
These guys are releasing a new warhammer game. That's how I found out about this one. Check out warhammer 40k: deathwing. The trailer looks great and the game is out this year.
+EonKool used the Xpadder software that lets you bind anything to the buttons and allows great modifiers and other features. I play all games with controller because I like to chill on a couch while playing
I figured you used Xpadder, but how did you manage to get a lot of the different functions binded on the controller? I never used Xpadder save for once years ago, but I never delved deep into it because I'm not a big fan of using controllers for FPS's. Is it that much more modifiable to use on PC than say on consoles?
You can use alot of clever tricks if you want alot of functionallity on a controller. I even play mmorpgs with controller and able to bind ~25 skills/spells. You can add control/shift modifiers to let's say a bumper or a trigger and press a face button which would jump or do something else without the modifier. Also you can use buttons to swtich to whole different set of controls while held or toggled. You can also make timed presses for different actions and so on. You cannot adjust official controls alot in the games for the most time though. Bottom line, it is possible to have the controller do a shit ton of things, but it takes alot of time to make it elegant and intuitive.
That's interesting, but that's the problem though is that a lot of developers don't seem to put time into making the controls intuitive on a controller. Look at games on consoles and there's only a handful of things that the game lets you do because the developers didn't really intend to allow the use of modifiers on the controllers like you said. You look at a lot of recent FPS games and their controls tend to be dumbed down in one way or another. And I know that games like Battlefield and even Fallout 4 have those lean functions removed from the players hand for the most part. I believe that you can disable it on Battlefield for PC if you wish, but I'm not sure about Fallout 4. I'm sure there's a mod or something, but bottom line is; developers seem to always develop mainly with consoles in mind, and so they make controls more "streamlined" so players don't have to worry about it. And it's great that you can add these modifiers on your own on your controllers, but that's with PC gaming. I don't own consoles anymore, but from what I've played with some newer games on the current gen consoles, it's still extremely limited to just what the developers want you to be able to do on the controller. I still think that this is a problem because, as I've been saying, it limit functionality for players and the ability to play how they want. I'm all about options man and that's what makes PC gaming so great over consoles in my mind. Sorry for being so long-winded, but it just really irritates me when you see modern games with controls that have been essentially removed from your hands over the idea of simplicity.
That's the Giger-esque game isn't it? I'm really interested in checking it out. The art-style alone piques my interest, but I hope that the developers don't make it some indie hipster art game.
Boi this is a game review why the fuck are you talking about controllers? I'm a kb mouse guy myself but I seriously don't care about why you don't like controllers.
My legs are OK.
You Gain Brouzouf
@@scordova98 brouzouf gains you
Have you escaped the cycles of guilt?
I hope that there is a E.Y.E sequel, I feel like there should be a new game to expand, explain, and improve the universe.

E.Y.E. let's you change the game settings to MAKE it a stealth game if you want to......it's a highly customizable game experience and most ppl don't even realize they can do that. It's rare to see that outside of survival games nowadays and when E.Y.E. came out it was practically unheard of. One of my favorite things about the game tbh.
Exactly!
Glad you came around! This is my Favorited game. It is deserving of so much more praise than it gets! I am such a fan that I buy this game for all of my steam mates just to support the company.
Daniel Hope same here man, I usually buy the game for new friends around Christmas time.
So im not the only one!! Also completely agree about the story in games, I try to skip them as much as I can! Also agree about the overuse of tentacles in lovecraft derived games and movies. I dont find any amount of tentacles scary! Also, your voice is well suited to this
Daniel Hope Lol thanks man
Excellent review! Just discovered this channel and would love to see more content from you.
I'll make more, I just work slowly, get distracted by other stuff, and am busy with life. Working on a couple of things right now though.
As much as I love that Streum On Studio is getting to make decent Warhammer games, I would love them to do an open-world, cyberpunk game. Given the amount of creativity on display and the complexity of the systems, I think they could make something really amazing, even if it doesn't resemble a full triple-A release as far as graphics and scale.
This is an excellent piece of great content. Congratulations on such a good channel, hope u get the attention you deserve.
Thanks my dude.
Great review man! Very high production quality despite your low sub count. I can really see the parallels to Beksiński, and love his work.
Thanks man, I've been trying to put more effort into the videos that I produce. I'm glad you liked it. And yeah, Beksiński's artwork is pretty great.
My basic stealth strategy is cloak, high agility and motra (the silenced smg), you rush to a good spot and take out the enemies one by one with headshots by leaning out from cover. But only if necessary, if you level up enough you can just bypass most enemies
I read from a website a comment where this french guy said that is not the translation that is strange but the
original french text is very weird ad well.
If this isnt a stealth game, why does every npc from the beginning tells me to stealth? First mission "Hardly a stealthy entry, please stay quiet while taking down the generators and killing some random punk" After taking one step into the street, the whole level notices me. I have to kill everyone, after that the level is basically empty except for turrets. Second mission "Steal some stuff from the warehouse, its heavily guarded so dont get caught." One step, caught. And the NPC is mad at me for getting caught. Sneaking with light armor, crouched, but no invis or anything because you dont have that from the start. Yet still being seen from further than possible viewrange. Why even have levels if all enemies run at you from the start?
Couldn't tell you my dude. The stealth in E.Y.E. is extremely half-baked, if that. It's technically possible with the cloaking, I'm sure. Even then, I've run into the same thing on the first level even when cloaked. The first enemy I take out with a silenced sniper rifle is enough to rile up all the enemies. Despite the NPC's warnings, stealth is almost never a good option because the system for it sucks unless you put AI on easy in the settings and constantly use cloak.
It kinda set a wrong impression to me at the start. Maybe I have to go at it again with another mindset. From the dialoque it really felt the game wants to be played like Deus Ex. Thanks to your video, I might give this game a third chance.
Ma3ckes Yeah, you'll definitely want to try to come at the game at a different angle. Stealth can work ok at some points, but I find that playing more loudly is a lot more satisfying.
i dont agree with your "controller" comment, its mistake of the devs because they can make lots of combination but they dont, there is games with tons of hotkeys and its manageable. LT+RS LB+RS etc lots can be done for fps genre and i dont enjoy fps on pc because lots of people use cheat programs and it gives me feeling that everyone cheats, i know its not the case but it gives uncomfortable feels so console fps is my choice. also adjusting your speed with leftstick rocks :D
I do agree that it's the developers' faults that there's not a lot of good button combinations or action variety, but even with button combinations, I feel that controllers are a very weak alternative to M+KB, and this is disregarding the fine aiming aspect. I said that there's technically...what, 17 or SINGLE button presses total on a controller? A Keyboard has what...about 100? A mouse can have, depending on the mouse, anywhere between 3-10 buttons, if not more? On top of that, you could also have button combinations on PC, so that would raise the amount of buttons, combinations, and corresponding actions to...fuck man, a really high number. I feel that your justification for playing on console is disingenuous, because there are cheaters that play on consoles as well, but hey, I don't give a shit what platform you play on, because that's your business.
sure keyboard got tons of buttons but what game makes u use all of em or even quarter of em dunno :p maybe some mmo s...
yeah cheaters on console too but its kinda easier to spot em and ban em also when u get ur console banned u just cant unlock it gotta sell n buy new console which not many bothers to. maybe i do suck at pc fps but console feels better.
also u maybe heard a game called magicka which requires shit load of hotkeys and kinda like endless combination of stuffs and u can play it on consoles its kinda harder but lil harder just sayin
a hidden masterpiece...it reminds me of aguirre the wath of god...in a way...
This is a great vid! Hope to see more content like this on your channel soon!
Hey, thanks for the comment and kind words! I'm currently working on another review actually, and I hope to get it out before the end of the month. It'll be a longer video as well.
I think this game is horribly underrated after all...
Great video mate! Also I'm playing the French version of Eye and while it's still a tad confusing, it's more in a mind bending way. The story is def more followable than the english version which at times just seems bonkers.
I got EYE this year, and it's now one of my all time favorites.
It's aged like _fine wine._
Dropping the ammo in your mag is actually very accurate in reload, because I mean are you going to strip your clip upon reload
I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to say.
I think he says you loose the ammo remaining in your clip if you reload (change clip).
That's not much true however since you couldn't throw up a half full clip, better have it than nothing if you get out of full clip ...
That makes sense. Your explanation, not his logic. I know some more tactical style shooters have it so you keep your used mags on you if you reload. Off the top of my head, I think maybe Insurgency, Rising Storm 2, and America's Army: Proving Grounds come to mind. It's not that big of a deal in E.Y.E. because armories are around every corner and it's easy to restock from dead enemies anyways.
EonKool oh snap you're still active , great video tho!
If you like the dark asthetic of eye look into Warhammer 40k
That ''Press X to hack'' comment does make me think. What would you propose is a good way to handle hacking in gaming? I imagine a minigame, but what kind? I have seen a few games in which the hacking is an old school shooter, which seems kind of silly to me. I think it should be some kind of puzzle game. I am not entirely sure how hacking even works in real life. What do you think would be a good way to handle it?
It depends on what kind of game you're playing to begin with. A slower first person shooter could get away with having minigames that require some modicum of thought put into executing the hack. An easy example is Bioshock. I think that the hacking minigame in that game is difficult enough, but fast enough to complete that it doesn't detract too much, if at all from the base game. Bioshock 2 streamlines this process to a timing minigame that runs in real-time while everything is going on around you, and arguably this method is better. If I had to create some way to "complicate" the hacking mechanics in Watch Dogs, I would probably incorporate something like Bioshock 2's. It requires timing, can be completed in a matter of seconds, and opens up an opportunity for Ubisoft to incorporate their generic upgrade paths that they add to all of their games to make it easier if you're more interested in hacking than you are combat. A hacking system like E.Y.E.: Divine Cybermancy would be, let's face it, probably too complicated and too boring for a mainstream audience. Not to say that I'm smarter than a mainstream audience or anything, it's just that particular minigame wouldn't suit itself well with an action game like Watch Dogs.
Interesting. Thanks for the response.
Anytime.
A decent hidden gem for me and still BETTER GAME OVERALL than Cp2077, Invisible war and mankind divided by a miles !
no more cyberpunk games exist so i wanna give this a try. curious tho, does it have a good story?
Ak47 good fucking luck
lmao its that bad?
Okay you got me. Reinstall it is. The music reminds me of that metroidvania game Axiom Verge
Is this basically a Cyberpunk/Shadowrun themed Unreal Tournament?
It's a game from 2011, the FOV wasn't a thing.
Sure, but you can change FOV in Half-Life 2 and Team Fortress 2. That being said, those games are constantly updated by Valve and you can only go between 75 and 90, but I just like options man. It's a pain in the ass to have to go into the console to get a higher FOV. EYE defaults to 90, which is probably fine for most people, but I prefer over 100.
5:44 "... just first person shooters."
I think that "first person shooters that have immersive sim elements" might be more accurate, but maybe that too should be an "especially."
Hello man, I really want to give this game a try, since it's so different and I like that in games that weirdness, maybe that's why I love Pathologic so much. But Pathologic, I won't say it had a gripping story, but it had a gripping world, characters, events and the purpose that drove the characters was so humane and deep.
I'm still not sure about the driving force in this game and how it pushes you forward. So other than simply killing dudes, is there at least an interesting drive?
I would say that, for me at least, what drove me to continue to play the game was seeing what new environments, characters, and situations you'll run into next. E.Y.E. has an amazing art direction and every level feels quite unique and grand. That's partially why I only presented the first couple levels or so. You'll run into a bunch of different characters that are both humorous and strange. I played this a few times on my own and with friends, and each time we would take time to simply explore the level and look at cool shit. As for other stuff, there are the main missions which will have you infiltrating bases, setting up ambushes on corrupt Secreta soldiers, bribing a corrupt federation officer, etc. a A lot of the missions are interesting simply because of how weird the locations and NPCs are. I recommend downloading the demo on Steam. But the game does go on sale often for $1-2 USD.
Nah, it's ok, the demo made me dislike the game, but you convinced me the game is weird enough to be worth it. It's not expensive, even now.
You should take a look into Pathologic though.It's different, the kind of enemies, the nature of the problems in the town makes it unique, terrible combat though as it's not really recommended, not that the game is stealthy, argh, I don't want to spoil stuff, But please give it a look, you might enjoy it.
Any game that have you trading a gun for a loaf of bread and makes you still think you had a good deal, is unique enough for me to try.
Rogerio I'll definitely look into it. Pathologic has been a game that I've wanted to try for some time, but I haven't had the time myself to get into it.
Went and bouught the game, yep, having fun, very good game with a lot of depth. The story is weird as hell and not helped by the tiny fonts. But the gameplay carries it very well, you see tangible improvement on your characters when leveling up and researching perks.
A bit disappointed by the late game weapons though, because the initial ones are so strong. Dual Wielding is amazing too, high strengh and high accuracy makes you a beast. And I love that OP Magnun that can bring down gunships with two shots.
Thanks for the review, I would have ignored the game otherwise.
Rogerio Cool my dude. I'm glad you gave it a chance.
much better than destiny.
6:05 That's how ammo works though,unless it's a shotgun or an FPS made in 2001,when you reload you throw away the old clip along with any bullets left in it.
There's a patch/mod out there somewhere that helps with the translation. I think it's on moddb. The story is actually pretty rad, it's just confusing as heck. You have to beat the game multiple times to get all endings.
You wanna talk about cliche art styles: EYE is ripped straight from Warhammer 40K
Garl Vinland I would call that inspired, not cliche.
And yet you would define Bloodborne's art as cliche because it features tentacles in its Lovecraftian inspired visuals?
Garl Vinland yep
Uhuh? You realize that Warhammer 40K is built on cliches correct? Genestealers, Space Marines, all taken from popular science fiction tropes. Its gothic style lends itself entirely from its sub genre without adding anything nuanced. In our pop culture filled with Jin-Roh, Star Wars, Helghasts etc. The concept of edge lords in scary black armour and glowing eyes saturates fiction, and is no exception in E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy, which not only takes those cliches, but borderline plagiarizes their designs.
Bloodborne has some tentacles in its Gothic Horror inspired by the likes of Bram Stoker turned Howard Lovecraft. But at least as a whole, it takes its inspirational material and spins its own take on it. Bloodborne is inspired. E.Y.E is cliche. Strictly by definition.
Garl Vinland ok
plus the fact that its french slang, Brouzoufs are also know for appear in a movie made by three famous humorists (in france of course) in one of their film. you have to actually be french to know the reference :3
anyway, thanks for review, and the hacking shiznit explained.
+Chemical Druid I remember reading about it being in a movie, but I forgot to mention that in the review. And no problem dude, glad you liked the vid.
Excellent review, the game is.. not super forthcoming on what's actually going on at the start. I just played the first 2 levels and I'm still like.. Federation? Jians? EYE? Oururous?
Earned a sub
Thanks man.
You don't have to thank me, you're the one that pues effort in his videos to make them the highest quality possible.
Keep the good work up!
Fuckin' love me some Zdzisław Beksiński
where can i find your older videos on this game?
sick video!
Are there any mods you would recommend for someone new?
Not really. There's a fisheye lens remover mod which removed the fisheye effect on weapon scopes and whatnot, but it wasn't a big deal for me. As well, there's a mod which "fixes" the translations in a lot of the text and whatnot. It can definitely help if you don't understand what's going on, but I think that it loses some of the charm if you do that.
These guys are releasing a new warhammer game. That's how I found out about this one. Check out warhammer 40k: deathwing. The trailer looks great and the game is out this year.
Screamingatthestars Way ahead of you man. Space Hulk: Deathwing looks really great. I hope it's successful and we see another E.Y.E. game sometime.
I played this game with 360 controller. Also, I leaned quite a bit. Magic
+LegacYakaMK How'd you manage that?
+EonKool used the Xpadder software that lets you bind anything to the buttons and allows great modifiers and other features. I play all games with controller because I like to chill on a couch while playing
I figured you used Xpadder, but how did you manage to get a lot of the different functions binded on the controller? I never used Xpadder save for once years ago, but I never delved deep into it because I'm not a big fan of using controllers for FPS's. Is it that much more modifiable to use on PC than say on consoles?
You can use alot of clever tricks if you want alot of functionallity on a controller. I even play mmorpgs with controller and able to bind ~25 skills/spells. You can add control/shift modifiers to let's say a bumper or a trigger and press a face button which would jump or do something else without the modifier. Also you can use buttons to swtich to whole different set of controls while held or toggled. You can also make timed presses for different actions and so on. You cannot adjust official controls alot in the games for the most time though. Bottom line, it is possible to have the controller do a shit ton of things, but it takes alot of time to make it elegant and intuitive.
That's interesting, but that's the problem though is that a lot of developers don't seem to put time into making the controls intuitive on a controller. Look at games on consoles and there's only a handful of things that the game lets you do because the developers didn't really intend to allow the use of modifiers on the controllers like you said. You look at a lot of recent FPS games and their controls tend to be dumbed down in one way or another. And I know that games like Battlefield and even Fallout 4 have those lean functions removed from the players hand for the most part. I believe that you can disable it on Battlefield for PC if you wish, but I'm not sure about Fallout 4. I'm sure there's a mod or something, but bottom line is; developers seem to always develop mainly with consoles in mind, and so they make controls more "streamlined" so players don't have to worry about it. And it's great that you can add these modifiers on your own on your controllers, but that's with PC gaming. I don't own consoles anymore, but from what I've played with some newer games on the current gen consoles, it's still extremely limited to just what the developers want you to be able to do on the controller. I still think that this is a problem because, as I've been saying, it limit functionality for players and the ability to play how they want. I'm all about options man and that's what makes PC gaming so great over consoles in my mind. Sorry for being so long-winded, but it just really irritates me when you see modern games with controls that have been essentially removed from your hands over the idea of simplicity.
I know you addressed it, but it's still pretty ironic.
That cynical laugh was scary...
How can you say controllers are bad for FPSs. Have you played Halo?
You gain brouzeof.
got this for a fucking dollar
It's a good game to get for a dollar.
I think the modern deus-ex hacking system would be a perfect replacement for the current hacking system
you should check scorn
That's the Giger-esque game isn't it? I'm really interested in checking it out. The art-style alone piques my interest, but I hope that the developers don't make it some indie hipster art game.
Boi this is a game review why the fuck are you talking about controllers? I'm a kb mouse guy myself but I seriously don't care about why you don't like controllers.
southrodney because I wanted to.
Holy shit is this review slow and depressing. I wanted to know what the game is about, not kill myself. Anyways, you're welcome for the comment.
