It was fun hanging out with all of you on my twitch! Give a follow if you want to hang out in the future! www.twitch.tv/jarek4gamingdragon
I had fun on the stream dude, also I got Nexomon 1 and 2 like you recommended. Haven't played them yet cuz of work but I've got them on my list.
Gonna review atomic heart. Sine it’s unlikely you won’t review Metroid prime remastered
Funnily enough, this game was one of the first games to have Arabic subtitles. It's one of the ways I learned both profanity and English lol
That is cool
I'm one of those weirdos whose favourite Red Faction game is Armageddon. It might be very linear especially compared to Guerrilla but the stupid guns were just so much fun to use.
Same here. It wasnt well advertised but getting rid of the open world to be a more arena oriented destruction shooter with fun weapon was the best decision they took. It was fun, action packed and not to long. One of the best 5€ sales i've had. And it has an unicorn that fart deadly rainbows as a gun.
I'm glad I'm not the only one.
What’s the draw to Armageddon for you? I just downloaded it a few days ago and it doesn’t live up to RFG for me which is kinda sucks.
yeah i agree, Armageddon was pretty fun. And it had a quite interesting arsenal.
It's not a bad game at all is it. I think it's a solid 7 out of 10.
I vividly remember this one moment from the game when i played it when it came out. I got my hands on one of the mechs, the smallest one, the one that can jump, and i saw this low pedestrian bridge in the fancy resedential area. So i walked under it and just jumped up, made a clean round hole and in the flight moved forward and landed on the bridge, the npc''s started panicing and running away like i was some mole man invading surface).
War thunder is so realistic they use classified documents 🤣
unrelated, but Deep Rock Galactic REALLY gave me what I wanted with Red Faction's 1 Geo-Mod system
"The EDF deploys!"
Oh wrong game.
This is the correct take
No. It's a fact.
No, this is Patrick.
@@Skiivin "Is this the Red Faction?"
@@darthcinema4262 I’m not a red faction :(
@@Skiivin "Um Patrick that's the name of the series."
This is honestly my favorite in the franchise as well. The destruction, combat, the story, and music are damn good.
6:47 I'm so glad I was there live to see you absolutely liquify that person's entire skeleton. Also, I picked the game back up myself after seeing you play it, and i've been having a blast again. I forgot myself how hilarious the ragdolls were.
6:21 The buildings even have physics and they creek and groan when they're pretty much gutted. It's SO satisfying to drop a building on top of someone, or blow up a bridge and have it collapse in a grand spectacle of utter destruction.
This is one of my all-time favorite games, and it's for the exact same reason everyone else likes this game. The destruction physics. They're still the best in the industry, and they were implemented into the gameplay very well. The open world story missions + activities + freeform destruction worked really well, and I'd like to make a special mention to the little challenges everywhere. The little missions that did stuff like "destroy this building with only two charges" or "destroy this building by playing golf with explosive barrels". And personally, I played the absolute pants off the hotseat mode. I'd have friends over a couple of times a week to watch movies and stuff, we gave it a try and ended up loving it. You really begin to appreciate the destruction physics when you need to take down a building in a minute flat, and the singularity charge can yeet support beams into your neck from across the map.
Man, now I want to replay it again. I absolutely love this game, and if there's one game I'd have to point to that deserves a modern (spiritual) sequel, it's this one.
Literally the second after I placed this comment the other video I was watching lamented the fact that Guerilla was the last game with this kind of destruction. Yeah, I'd say it's time for this mechanic to return already.
That guard got hit so hard his physics broke!
I've only played the demo way back on the Xbox 360. I've seen this game on sale for dirt cheap. Will pick it up next time I see one of those sales.
red faction guerilla is a little rough graphically but definitely not rough for its time. That anisotropic velvety cloth material still looks comfy as hell
And what games had the level of destruction it had? Non!
The graphics are to fine to me, I didn't mind the redness. I think Far Cry 2, CoD Ghosts, Saints Row 2, and GTA TLaD are the games that I wasn't so fond of the art direction for.
@@MerlautJones I'd really like to ask what specifically about TLaD's art style you didn't like. It was done in the same graphics engine as the main game & gay tony, it was just another way to experience LC. I think GT aged more just because it's embarrassingly cringe to sit through most of its story. TLaD arguably has the same problem with aging jokes, but it is just GT but biker theming instead.
@@dw-xy9vm I really just meant the yellow or as some have called the "piss" filter TLaD had.
That sledgehammer is still one of the most satisfying weapons ever.
When is whoever that owns the Red Faction IP gonna quick dicking around and give us Red Faction Guerrilla 2? I've been waiting 14 years for fuck's sake.
I played this game all last summer it was addicting indeed
Cops in GTA 4 are funny though because you can get them to witness a guy hit you resulting in a police shooting
Guerrilla is great in the fact that it knows what you want, and gives it to you in spades. Explosions everywhere, out the ass.
It’s also one of the only games Ive played with a focus on guerrilla fighter gameplay.
RF: Guerrilla is like the definition of mindless fun, and i get back to it regularly
Loved this game to bits. but I wish it had a post-game sandbox mode. a lot of buildings stay broken and you can destroy them again.
Also beating the game fully brings the EDF back to all zones. stopping just before the final mission keeps the EDF locked to one zone
RFG is definitely the best RF game. You didn't even mention the multiplayer which is one of my fave if all time. 😁 How the backpacks effect gameplay and the meta is amazing. Sadly due to this being a bit of a golden era in games it didn't get the spotlight it deserved and only stayed reasonably populated for a year or so.
Just to boast a little...I believe I'm the first player in the world to get the Ostrich Sledgehammer unlocked in the ReMARStered edition 🤩👍🏻🥒
There is a small following for the multiplayer on discord if you're interested. I uploaded some funny clips on my channel.
was this the game where the dev had to redesign some of the buildings because the physic they made to run the whole thing would collapse the building because the dev could not design semi realistic buildings.
like one building had glass on the first floor and a concreat slab as the secound floor and the game would intantly crush the first floor glass walls whit the concreat wall because the glass could not hold up the concert.
That's cool!
Melting the pilot out of a gunship with the nano rifle was just...So good.
Funnily enough I think I like Armageddon slightly better than this one -- but it's definitely close.
I think to me it really comes down to the slight boost in enemy variety AND THE MAGNET GUN. Maybe aside from the Pyro GX, that's probably the most fun piece of equipment I've ever gotten to use in a game.
If you do play that game make sure you use the magnets. Being able to weaponize everything from explosives to other enemies to buildings to... everything... turns the game from a mediocre tunnel shooter into something else entirely. :)
Like a gravity gun on steroids.
does Armageddon open up at some point? i played an hour of it and it was a bland scripted corridor shooter. maybe the first levels are just like that?
@@dan_loeb Nope, Armageddon's not open world.
@@dan_loeb It doesn't really, but once the magnet gun was firmly ensconced in my arsenal I didn't really mind :)
There's plenty of structures around to throw at enemies and the repair function means that if you run out of "ammo" you can make more.
Armageddon might have better gunplay and weapons, but guerilla has a much better world to play in
I have this vivid memory of playing the multiplayer on 360, capture the flag, and me running back to our side with their flag while ours was out. Smashed a hole in a crate, got in, teammate used the repair gun to seal it back up again. Laughing hysterically while the enemy scoured the base looking for the flag carrier
They don't make games like this anymore. I miss the simplicity of big budget titles, now everything has to be massive and complex and grindy with a thousand skill trees and mechanics and riddled with loot boxes, dlc, microtransactions and season passes.
Preach bruv, I miss the simpler times where games could be finished under 40 hours and didn't require grinding to the point of feeling like work.
ill probably check it out. This looks like better destruction than 2042
Plus has better combat and an actual story
Even Bad Company 1 had better destruction than 2042.
It's insanity!
The pass the controller try to do more damage to map than eachother couch multiplayer option proved to be a solid shot for shot drinking game. Cheers
I only ever got to play the multiplayer on Xbox Live once, and I'll never forget it. After several sessions' worth of attempts, I finally found a lobby to join, and within half an hour I'd partied up with everyone in the lobby, abandoned the competitive multiplayer, and just spent three hours playing glorified hide and seek.
Protagonist looks exactly like the main character from resistance 1 and 2
Every 7th gen video game protag with a gun looks like that tbh
Similar, but I can easily tell them apart. Nathan Hale looks like Vin Diesel.
I remember renting this when it came out and being like, "Yeah, it's neat... but I'm not sold."
Personally, the OG Red Faction is my favorite, but I fully realize that it's only due to nostalgia and unlike games like MoHAA, Max Payne, or RTCW I never have the urge to go back and replay it even though I own it on both GOG and Steam.
One of these games I replay at least once a year.
It's sad that we will never get another proper Red Faction game, after Armageddon in 2011. Instead we get a handful of "Saints Row" games after SR4 that nobody asked for
I'm a simple man. I hear Legendary music in the background, I hit like.
Not to mention the multiplayer versus modes are a lot of fun, even playing just by yourself, figuring out how to most efficiently take down large structures with weird loadouts
Also the nanogun, you didn't talk about the nanogun
I have all these on 360 and via backwards compatibility.
I actually enjoy playing this game... also one of those "how many times did I buy this?" Games lol
you should play Armageddon too. alot of people didnt like it because it wasnt open world, but i think its still pretty good.
I loved this game I loved taking the blue trash truck and just absolutely driving it into any edf building and then rigging it with explosives
I had lofty dreams for the future of the series once I'd played this magnificent game (like a whole EDF city to destroy, sky scrapers and everything) and mannnnn, Armageddon could not have possibly been more of a let down if it tried. I'll never feel as blue balled as I did after the tutorial for Armageddon where they give you a whole-ass base to destroy... only to follow this up with endless cave corridors with the smallest amount of destructible environments thereafter... like what?? THE most baffling decision I can possibly imagine in all of sequeldom.
But yeah, Guerilla is an all time classic for me and a shining example of a game released during one of the least fun or experimental gaming generations imo.
💯
If you think the 360 gen is a boring generation then you must not play very many games.
No other game like it, unfortunately. I guess Teardown but still
As much as I love Teardown it just doesn't do what Guerrilla does. Teardown being more of a puzzler than "I'm going to avoid shooting these people by instead just destroying the entire building instead"
*i can't escape warthunder*
A really overlooked aspect of Guerilla (at least on it's original release) was the multiplayer. The support backpacks and sledgehammers made it a pretty singularly fun game. Most of the backpacks that gave you mobility options like the rhino charge, sprint pack, and jetpack led to some pretty fun games.
It will be interesting to see what you think of Armageddon. I like Guerilla more but Armageddon is IMO much better then Red Faction II so at least its not the worst in the series.
Definitely check out red faction armageddon next!
And Armageddon destroy the franchise as it is Quake 4, Dead Space into one. Because, Singularity Cannon is the Dark Matter Gun of that game.
This is amazing please play more 3rd person games !! It opens so many doors for your reviews ! I love your reviews!! Gimme more
we need a Red Faction Guerilla 2
If you enjoyed this you should check out Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction on ps2/xbox. Also kinda repetitive but I think it holds up well.
Agreed. For the longest, I've wanted a new Mercenaries, built with the frostbite engine. EA dropped the ball!
The story in guerilla just did not grab me. His brother dies, okay, but we've known this guy for like 3 seconds, i do not care about these characters at all.
This game is absolutely amazing. One of my all time favourites and I would play it all the time back in 2010. I thought it looked really good too, but they was probably because the destruction was so impressive that I didn't notice how bare the game ACTUALLY looks. But still, a fun game nonetheless!
First and third only talked about. Watch out Jarek, someone will hammer you to review Deus Ex with this talk.
Keep up ma nizzle!
Remarstered is actually kind of funny
Would suggest you try out Earth Defense force 5 had such a great time with it
It's the type of game like Just Cause that just gives you random reasons to blow some stuff up. Love these and I'm sad there's no more games like these using modern tech. In terms of destruction only Teardown and BeamNG (soft body physics of vehicles) can match RF Guerilla... and I still think Guerilla looks better than Teardown.
Volition should make a new Red Faction. But I think the talent left the company years ago and we'd end up with a Saints Row Reboot situation.
Haven't watched the video fully yet, but i am interested in Jarek's opinion on Red Faction tv movie with Robert Patrick as older mc of Guerilla.
There are only 2 Red Factions. The first one and this one.
The other two have nothing linked with the franchise except the title and an odd reference here and there.
i wonder if it's even worth covering Armageddon. it's better than rf2, but im not sure if it's better than rf1.
What about red faction Armageddon
Really really fun but too short
JarekTheGamingDragon, if you're interested in covering a multiplayer mod that we play weekly let me know. It adds nore characters, custom maps and weapon balance. It is similar in pacing to Halo
I like shooter games
Ok I'll buy it 👍
6:13 Noita/Teardown would like a word
Same here with all the stuff u said, repetitive but somehow still fun, even if its longer then it needs to be. I had fun with the original 2009 version a decade ago, maybe ill give it a go with this remarstered one, although its also now year or two old, dont know, just guessing. WHatver ill check it out, didnt want to when this came out, but now i must i blame u :).
I hope you end up doing Armageddon, I know a lot of people didn't like it but I quite liked it and probs have played it more than Guerilla.
Underrated game
I agree it's the best one. Played it a lot as a kid and later learned about the fps prequals. One of my favorites from 2009. I also liked the little similarities to Saints Row it had, mechanically. I really enjoyed Armageddon too. I was kinda disappointed since I thought it'd be open world as well, but underground and it wasn't. Still a decent shooter.
The second one is the best to me
i want to wait until the next warthunder update to play it. why does it follow me everywhere i go lol. this game follows me everywhere
I have a personal grudge against Guerilla. Years ago, this game burned my motherboard. I hate this game for it.
How?
What’s that concussion device at 7:29?
I don't get the Crysis debate. You're right, it's NOT an open world game. It's open-ended or say, a sandbox game which is not the same. I don't see why others would say otherwise.
Why did you never analyse Armageddon?
jarek plays a game that is NOT an FPS!? Next up give Red Faction: Armageddon a try
Re-Mars-stered
Im honestly surprised sony or xbox havent madr guerilla 2 😂
I actually think battlefield bad company may have had better destruction, but I can’t decide.
Thank Nvidia for the fact that we don't get games like this anymore.
Is it the best game? No. Is it fun? You bet your ass.
mr toots
Not to be that guy why would a third person game also need an FOV slider
For the same reasons as a FPS would, the closer you are to the screen, the worse it feels on a narrow FOV.
This game is great at blow sheet up and who can say no to that?
You should try metroid prime series it's a fps game it's on pc with emulators
THQ’s Just Cause
but its not an FPS!
It's Just Cause 3, really.
Please make a video about rage
Feel sorroy for all the people who bought crackdown 3. This game is on sale for 5 dollars on xbox rn 💀
although a good game., i find myself wanting to replay 1, 2. or 4.... almost never guerrilla...
guerrilla needed a little less repetition, less time trials and a more depth to the story.
..... the evil repetition and time trials makes replaying seem a chore.
Am playing it now and my only major complaint is for a game that makes you drive as much as this one, the vehicle mechanics suck ass. Otherwise I'm having an absolute blast
And the next game, Red Faction Armageddon is not bad, just really generic and forgettable (from what I played).
It's a Dead Space clone of sorts with building and environment destruction. It's pretty good I think. Not as good as Gurilla. But not bad at all.
Great vid man ive always wanted to go back and play this as i played the demoooo for hoursss reminds me a bit of fracutred....or fracture you remember it was a lucas arts game I think about terrain warping ....Could you do a vid on that idk if it has enough meat as i only played the demo but it had some merit and would love to see a current game gen do the same ...along with this game...where are all the FPS destruction games! lol
The multiplayer for this game was so good too. When they did the remaster it was so great to go back and play the multiplayer for.. a couple of weeks before it died again🥲😂
