Fun fact: There's a megasecret room you can enter in Cultural Divide (I think), where on a fridge you'll find an ad from Heskel, gives you a funny answer to your question.
I honestly think that some people who went to Haskel to get a new body through cybernetic enhancements were suffering from physical disabilities and got desperate to not only end the constant suffering that comes from being physically disabled, but also for a chance to either reclaim the life they once had before becoming physically disabled or those that wanted to have a normal, actually productive, life for themselves that they were condemned to not have at birth.
Its like scientology, when you join they make you a spider bot and you slowly rank up as a cooler and cooler cyborg as you donate more. (They keep the rest of your body in a big fridge)
I still to this day find it amazing that Iron Maiden went after this game, but left that other Build Engine game, Powerslave, completely unmolested. It even has bright gold, brown and lapis-lazuli blue mummy pharaoh face in the game. And it's about being metal af through a heap of ancient egyptian scenery.
They also went after a really cool comic in the early 00's called "The Iron and the Maiden". Pretty much got it cancelled, which was such a shame since it was this cool Noir/gangsta/futuristic story with beautiful artwork. Think it was written by the co-creator of Naughty Dog too.
@@CryingZombie666 Imagine the future but without morons who sperg about the jews because they saw a image with no sources which made them W O K E That would be delightful.
GManLives: "I honestly forgot I had the crossbow and it's not all that useful." Civvie: "Remember that OP crossbow the enemy has? Well it's just as OP for you when you get it!" Civvie is doing it right.
Gman even said the secondary fire was useless and it's not. Like Civvie said it's great for one shoting those floating torso guys. Also Gman didn't even mention supercharging the crossbow so I don't think he figured that out.
Here's the difference that matters: LGR goes on Gman, finds an agreeable point or so, and generally acts the youtube chum. LRG goes on Civvie, and learns something new.
@@Jjgm69 damn Dude. 3 years ago I had to rewatch the video. To sum it up, different armors have different collars around them, like a collar around your shirt. And the colors change not only for the armor display but also on the characters portrait. The devs could've easily just made a simple floating head, but they also added the color changes. Like I said. It's the little things that count.

Special thanks goes out to Richard Gobeille, and Evan Ramos for allowing me this honor.
Small role or big doesn't matter. This game is a masterpiece and the whole team should be proud ! Well done to everyone involved ! This looks amazing !
I really like Shelly's attitude. She's not really funny, or edgy in some ironic way that's funny, but she has this "nothing (else) is going to get me down" vibe, and I just love Valerie Arem's performance in the role. I pretty much based my next RP character on her after playing this.
They did a really good job at basically writing lines for a female version of Duke3D era Duke. Some playfully risque lines, some reference antics, but nothing too outrageous. Now that Embracer has acquired Gearbox, I really hope we can get a Duke and Shelly's World Tour.
Agreed. I hate this trope how guys don't like "strong female leads". No, we just don't like bad writing. Shelly has great characterization without long cutscenes or exposition. She's a kick-ass character and Ion Fury is an awesome game. More protagonists like Shelly, plz.
Loving this new era of quippy, bloodthirsty retro FPS heroines! We got Shelly, the gal from Viscerafest, and... dammit, what was the one with the Australian girl?
@@DinsRune I honestly feel like she's a bit lacking in the oneliners department but looking at the previous points: Not trying to be funny, edgy, just determined as hell and a sour cop. It makes sense. I just think she needed a few more references and risque lines, but she's a good character and the VA did a very good job.
Same here. Bruce and Steve can fuck off. Their beer fucking sucks and they lost my respect for this whole thing. I hope the sequel has a terrible beer called "Squaddie" that you feed to enemies and they take damage.
I didn't catch Civvie's Maiden references, but I did catch the Offspring references "Gotta keep them separated" and "Dance Fucker Dance". TBH I'd be interested in hearing more Offspring Lyrics.
@@darkzerothe1 ... Gotta be honest, I can't say I noticed the parallel to Shelly when Naoto called a guy a "baldheaded *bitch*" and proceeded to pick up a mech's machine gun arm in preparation to commit a spree of the killing variety in P4A or PQ... but then again I suck at noticing small details so it could be that. Still, no coincidence she's rocking a revolver in both games +Bombshell, I guess. Funnily enough she's also in P4G itself as Eri Minami and also in P5R as... voice.
this game is so well made that even a shitter like me can almost effortlessly learn how to play. with a not-insignificant amount of struggle mind you, but i never once felt like i'd run into a difficulty wall. every death i knew _exactly_ what i did wrong and always had a very good idea of what to do next. i guess it helps that i'm kind of obsessive about keeping my resources topped off and i aggressively check corners even more obsessively. you can be cautious and fast at the same time, i love this game
They should have stuck with the blond version of her though. I think the current version is a bit bland. Looks too much like a generic future cop. They could have at least taken a page out of Judge Dredd or Warhammer and stuck some ornate bullshit on her, or gave her a fancy helmet.
@@BlackSabbath628 What, make her look like Judge Anderson or Ephrael Stern? Then the difficulties in this game won't provide much, will they? They're Dedd Dedder than Dedd Die, Heretics! EXTERMINATUS!!
Well, he did (you can see him charging it up against an enemy in the sewers), I just don't think he realized it's effectiveness. Probably assumed it was a visual novelty, since the bow is able to one-shot most enemies anyway.
I don't know how, I mean, don't you try the buttons when you're playing a game to see what all your character can do??? I figured that out the first or second time I used the bow.
The crossbow is also great for one tapping enemies if you get an upper chest/head shot. The perfect room clearing machine for second play throughs when you know the enemy placement, along with the bowling bombs.
@@TerrorLTZ a native american girl, forgot her name--will need to look it up, had the audacity to highlight the fact that the name of a certain Washington DC handegg team being more than a little tasteless, especially in the current decade. A bunch of pathetic whiners got their panties in a wad trying to project onto her and her supporters their own pathetic whininess, and to some extent succeeded.
@@Skiivin yeah, but that's just one indie dude who tried to corner a niche market trying to go up against a multi billion dollar company. Iron Maiden has decades of platinum albums and legal teams that can fight against anyone. It's better to simply change the name a bit and avoid any legal battles that can't be won instead of trying to dive in head first and risk having to pay damages.
1:58 "It's so 90's that occasionally it gets cringy. Yeah Shelly, you know what's cool and relivent? The Offspring" 14:19 - 15:16 Game footage with two Offspring references almost back to back. You Gotta Keep'em Separated (94), and Dance Fucker Dance (08) "That whole bit, it was just awsome so I included it"
The secrets in Ion Maiden are just incredible. There is so much love and care put into them. The apartment from Hardware fully modeled and detailed blew my mind. I only found 49% of them according the the end game stats and looking at the other cool stuff from the achievement list, seems like I need to keep digging!
I think the Hardware apartment was one I mistook for Adam Jensen’s in Deus Ex Human Revolution if we mean the same one. Another of my favourites are the Electric Sheep one near the start, the Portal one, the GTA Infernus with a saw blade on it near the mall (Bombshell even yells “wasted!” here), a TMNT area, the Silent Hill apartment, a Twin Peaks red room, a Wolfenstein 3D tiled area you can glimpse from the Institute’s escape elevator, the pillar thing from Hellraiser and Heskal’s bowling alley.
Here's hoping the power of Christ compels someone to MAKE A JUDGE DREDD MOD FOR THIS GAME IMMEDIATELY. Can you imagine it? CAN YOU SEE IT!? A BUILD ENGINE JUDGE DREDD GAME? Alternatively, I would accept a Demolition Man mod, but only if it featured actual lines from the movie.
Not that I know anything about that franchise, but this game seems like the perfect husk for it. I have played some Broforce and maybe seen some clips of Judge Dredd, but I'm feeling you.
@@returnofbeaux basically cyberpunk hellhole ran by an understaffed police state. The source material: comic is really heavy on dark humour and satire. The adaptation (movies) focus on the cool aesthetic, cool protagonists and actions.
This video prompted me to go buy the game only to find I already own it, apparently... I gotta start hiding my credit card before my bourbon-fueled Hexen-and-cry sessions.
Feel free to gift me games if you have too many. I've got plenty I'd love to play but don't have a way of getting them right now. Same name on steam if you're genuninely interested in helping me finally play RE3. If not, that's cool too. I've had that in the past fo sho.
Funny thing happened to me when I first played. They updated the game and it made my save flake out. It put me at the start of the level with all the weapons I'd picked up on my play-through, although everything else was reset. Point being I got to hear that line while already having the grenade launcher equipped.
As someone who has built levels for build engine games since I was an early teenager, playing this and looking at the level design is absolutely mind boggling. It would take half a year for me to make a great Duke3D level. Not that I'm slow, I love detail too, but never like this. It's incredible. 17:17 - That's one of the secrets in E1L1 in Duke3D, where you go through the window on the 2nd floor above the theater entrance.
I only found out about this absolute gem of a game last year. Played through it in no time and had a lot of fun with it. Definitely among the best games I played in 2021, and a solid recommendation to anyone who likes 90s FPS games.
Just finished this one : 98% kills, 70% secrets, 200% fun. Marvelous throwback, it is buildEngine at his best. 100% this one will be so hard. Now on my second run on maximum Fury, game still installed. And as usual, great video from our fav' Civvie
I'm glad you showed off the absolute carnage the crossbow can cause. GGG made it seem like it was just some lackluster railgun with a spread shot option.
This channel has given me a secret love for build engine games. I literally never have played one but have seen the effects of the level design and movement design in more modern games but have always wanted to play something this old school feeling.
I actually beat it on Maximum Fury and honestly 99.9% of it wasn’t as hard as it was on Ultra Viscera, that being the difficulty I beat the game on when playing it for the first time. That 0.01% was the final boss and that was just from it being a terribly designed final boss that on Maximum Fury is impossible to do legitimately, meaning I had to cheese through it by shooting grenades into the hole you’re suppose to shoot at via the secret super armour area above it.
As my first time playthrough difficulty it hasn't been that bad throughout half the game but I've heard things about the final battle I'm not looking forward to
Kinda like that this game is a 'Hey, look at what we can do with the build engine on today's hardware' type of thing. I don't mean that in a bad way. It's cool, actually.
"I don't mean that in a bad way." I've re-read your comment a few times, trying to figure out how what you said could possibly be interpreted as a "bad way".
@@SmokeymcJoint420 it's like saying "look what the Model-T Ford could do if it weren't held back" this implies that the Model-T was a flawed concept best left to the wayside. It was cutting edge at it's time, but since, unfairly judged by comparison to modern counterparts. See, you might feel maligned if compared to an automaton animated by neurotransmitters... But... You and all other persons of your generation are all struggling against the same hardware limitations.
@@hazukichanx408 because build engine games play completely differently to polygonal ones, likely due to how the level editor workflow differs. I know it's a lot easier to iterate in Build, which allows levels to be massive and intricate without sinking the budget.
Or, arguably, a really bad time. Internet review shows had a huge heyday a long time ago, but then again, the fact that that time is long past means there are very few that are actually good, so he has the opportunity to stand out more with the audience that still wants that. Most gaming content these days are Let's Plays or streaming.
@@raccoononymous Which is why it's so nice to have Civvie. Game-by-game reviews likes this, especially of boomer shooters, are getting rarer and rarer, so people (like us) are starved of content related to it. Even if Civvie was mediocre, which he isn't, his videos would still have a gravitation toward them in one way or another, which is noticeable considering 95% of his videos get nearly double or sometimes triple the views vs. his number of subscribers consistently
@@raccoononymous Not for me, i dont watch talentless, unfunny youtubers or egocentric assholes who like to talk over gameplay (and suck at playing), i have zero clue about the youtube world (thank God) i just watch videos about random stuff be it movies or listen to music and if i like a particular channel i subscribe, so i never got into the trend and Civvie is one of the few and firsts youtubers that i follow on a regular basis. Having said that, what Civvie does and i like about him is that he is like me and i guess a lot of people in this channel: some guy who play video games and has a particular affection towards first person shooters (of the GOOD kind), specially old ones. He seems to be my age, he is a huge fan of Doom, he is not trying to be funny without being funny or sell us shit or anything like that, he just play games and tell us what he thinks about them, what i am trying to say is that he for the most part has a particular niche: old school first person shooters, most of his content is about that and no other youtuber focus on it, and as a fan of old school shooters and games (for the most part, because most of them are better than most stuff we get nowadays) i find this content appealing.
@phillip martin no it doesnt it, it uses a modified version of the build engine, not a source port. While you can certainly use eduke with ion fury its not the default. Do a little research (Edit: in fact people have found a way to run it on eduke, but it has some backporting issues.)
Spot on for the most part. Two things for those who haven't played yet... Use the smgs for the blue and red flaming skull guys. They actually drop them faster than the mini-gun and I believe they are weak to fire. I pretty much almost exclusively use them for those enemies outside of sporadic mobbing when I was low on ammo for other weapons. You also don't need to use the secondary fire of the crossbow to one shot the flying missile torso things if you get a head shot, which can be tricky, but is very satisfying.
@@Cosmic_Cretin Idk about anyone else but I'm not sure I agree on "less cringy". To be honest I think I'd rather be able to turn both voices off. I do like Heskel's voice and lines though, reminds me of bad guys in '80's and '90's cartoons
@@Cosmic_Cretin nah, she's cringy. Her actress tries too hard to sound cool. And she's nowhere near as good as Jon St John. Also her lines ARE taken from songs and movies and stuff
@@stproducciones9140 I disagree, sure some of her lines are references, but her best ones are original, unlike Duke where all his best lines are just from movies. Jon St. John is better as Heskel in Ion Fury than he even has been as Duke, but thats just my opinion.
17:18 This wasn’t mentioned in the video itself, but that apartment secret is a reference to an identical one above the cinema in Duke 3D’s first level. Like it, it has red mood lighting, flickering light from the TV and all of the weapons available in that episode/zone. Unlike Duke 3D, you can actually drink the cocktail on the couch for health.
@@MagpieDynamics I've seen a few older westerns, so I can vouch that it's true. There's a good reason why John Wayne said The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly 'killed the western.'
“It’s a Home run” Damn I cannot believe the games engine didn’t melt at that secrets level.. Also I really liked the piano.. I played a video clip of someone playing it Once and I immediately succeeded. I don’t know why but I really like music puzzles in game.. I think people should make more stuff like this
Suing a game company over having a similar name is trve metal! Just like when Ozzy sued his own friends/bandmates over the Black Sabbath name! Totally something a real friend would do.
Forgetting that the iron maiden is a fake medieval torture device. If it were up to me, I'd have made the argument that Ion Maiden is named after the iron maiden, and not the band Iron Maiden, and that this is a frivolous case that oughta be thrown out. To be fair, I also understand Iron Maiden the band. Imagine trying to stay relevant, even though you've been making the same fxxking album for the last 45 years. Sarcasm aside, this is the same exact kind of bullfuckery Metallica did when they condemned piracy. Analog piracy(that is copying a cassette to another cassette) is what made them famous the first place. Only shit bands do this. Real musicians don't bother with people sharing their stuff, because they know their stuff is so good, that people will pay for overpriced tickets to see them live, not to mention concessions and relics like T shirts and hats. They know they can rake in way more from 100k tickets+merch than 500k album sales and hawking stuff on their websites. Besides, people won't be more likely to buy your stuff if you prevent them from even hearing it. It's not like a guy recommends you a band in a bar and then you go out and buy their CD, or just randomly pay 50 bucks to go to a concert of people you've never heard about. In any case, it's nothing but a sign of massive insecurity that they think a game would take away from their legacy. If I was them, I would have leaned into it and asked them if they want us to compose a theme song or an end credits tune or whatever.
Flynn's arcade in the bar in the very first level must be a reference to the arcade in the movie Tron (in both movies, in fact) owned by the character Flynn. The sign is almost identical too. It doesn't seem to be mentioned on the tv tropes page.

I just got this game today from gog because of this video...this game is better then it looks, the weapons all feel powerful, the levels are fantastic and the music is perfect. I'm not normally an FPS guy but this is a must have.
7:56 Was that a Pantera reference? 9:01 That's actually realistic since 40mm grenade launchers can use a wide variety of ammunition and munition types, including but not limited to the M433 HEDP grenade (High Explosive, Dual Purpose) and the M576 canister round (basically a super shotgun shell filled with buckshot). And that weapon is less like a shotgun that also uses grenades and more like a grenade launcher that also uses buckshot canisters. 13:27 Robocop reference. Only it doesn't fit here since crossbows don't "bang."
imagine signing up for Haskel's transhumanism cult expecting to get a sick cyborg body but you only get your head hooked into a spider or a drone
Maybe the spiders should be revolting against Haskel instead of following his orders.
Fun fact: There's a megasecret room you can enter in Cultural Divide (I think), where on a fridge you'll find an ad from Heskel, gives you a funny answer to your question.

Loving this new era of quippy, bloodthirsty retro FPS heroines! We got Shelly, the gal from Viscerafest, and... dammit, what was the one with the Australian girl?
@@DinsRune I honestly feel like she's a bit lacking in the oneliners department but looking at the previous points: Not trying to be funny, edgy, just determined as hell and a sour cop. It makes sense. I just think she needed a few more references and risque lines, but she's a good character and the VA did a very good job.

Im glad 3D Realms is sticking with their Bombshell character, seeing that her first outing wasnt so hot.
That 3D version of her just screams fucking feminist.
They should have stuck with the blond version of her though. I think the current version is a bit bland. Looks too much like a generic future cop. They could have at least taken a page out of Judge Dredd or Warhammer and stuck some ornate bullshit on her, or gave her a fancy helmet.

Inmissed that One too on first Gameplay. Same w alt fire on grenades lol - dho
Well, he did (you can see him charging it up against an enemy in the sewers), I just don't think he realized it's effectiveness. Probably assumed it was a visual novelty, since the bow is able to one-shot most enemies anyway.
I don't know how, I mean, don't you try the buttons when you're playing a game to see what all your character can do??? I figured that out the first or second time I used the bow.
The crossbow is also great for one tapping enemies if you get an upper chest/head shot. The perfect room clearing machine for second play throughs when you know the enemy placement, along with the bowling bombs.

As someone who has built levels for build engine games since I was an early teenager, playing this and looking at the level design is absolutely mind boggling. It would take half a year for me to make a great Duke3D level. Not that I'm slow, I love detail too, but never like this. It's incredible.

Gabriel Zero That’s some confidence right there.
I actually beat it on Maximum Fury and honestly 99.9% of it wasn’t as hard as it was on Ultra Viscera, that being the difficulty I beat the game on when playing it for the first time. That 0.01% was the final boss and that was just from it being a terribly designed final boss that on Maximum Fury is impossible to do legitimately, meaning I had to cheese through it by shooting grenades into the hole you’re suppose to shoot at via the secret super armour area above it.
As my first time playthrough difficulty it hasn't been that bad throughout half the game but I've heard things about the final battle I'm not looking forward to
Where’d you find this
Kinda like that this game is a 'Hey, look at what we can do with the build engine on today's hardware' type of thing. I don't mean that in a bad way. It's cool, actually.
"I don't mean that in a bad way." I've re-read your comment a few times, trying to figure out how what you said could possibly be interpreted as a "bad way".

@@SmokeymcJoint420 it's like saying "look what the Model-T Ford could do if it weren't held back" this implies that the Model-T was a flawed concept best left to the wayside.
It was cutting edge at it's time, but since, unfairly judged by comparison to modern counterparts. See, you might feel maligned if compared to an automaton animated by neurotransmitters... But... You and all other persons of your generation are all struggling against the same hardware limitations.
Nostalgic joy aside, I still don't entirely understand why they did it... but I respect that they did!
@@hazukichanx408 because build engine games play completely differently to polygonal ones, likely due to how the level editor workflow differs. I know it's a lot easier to iterate in Build, which allows levels to be massive and intricate without sinking the budget.

You picked a really good time to come out of your boomer hole and start your channel, Civvie.
Or, arguably, a really bad time. Internet review shows had a huge heyday a long time ago, but then again, the fact that that time is long past means there are very few that are actually good, so he has the opportunity to stand out more with the audience that still wants that. Most gaming content these days are Let's Plays or streaming.
@@raccoononymous Which is why it's so nice to have Civvie.

Having said that, what Civvie does and i like about him is that he is like me and i guess a lot of people in this channel: some guy who play video games and has a particular affection towards first person shooters (of the GOOD kind), specially old ones. He seems to be my age, he is a huge fan of Doom, he is not trying to be funny without being funny or sell us shit or anything like that, he just play games and tell us what he thinks about them, what i am trying to say is that he for the most part has a particular niche: old school first person shooters, most of his content is about that and no other youtuber focus on it, and as a fan of old school shooters and games (for the most part, because most of them are better than most stuff we get nowadays) i find this content appealing.

Two things for those who haven't played yet...
Use the smgs for the blue and red flaming skull guys. They actually drop them faster than the mini-gun and I believe they are weak to fire. I pretty much almost exclusively use them for those enemies outside of sporadic mobbing when I was low on ammo for other weapons.
You also don't need to use the secondary fire of the crossbow to one shot the flying missile torso things if you get a head shot, which can be tricky, but is very satisfying.

Suing a game company over having a similar name is trve metal! Just like when Ozzy sued his own friends/bandmates over the Black Sabbath name! Totally something a real friend would do.
American companies are obsessed with fighting each other with lawyers, most other countries businesses don't enjoy it quite so much!!
Or how the culmination of Metallica suing Napster all those years ago ended up with Metallica's live performance on Twitch being censored afterwards.
Forgetting that the iron maiden is a fake medieval torture device.
If it were up to me, I'd have made the argument that Ion Maiden is named after the iron maiden, and not the band Iron Maiden, and that this is a frivolous case that oughta be thrown out.
To be fair, I also understand Iron Maiden the band. Imagine trying to stay relevant, even though you've been making the same fxxking album for the last 45 years.
Sarcasm aside, this is the same exact kind of bullfuckery Metallica did when they condemned piracy. Analog piracy(that is copying a cassette to another cassette) is what made them famous the first place.
Only shit bands do this. Real musicians don't bother with people sharing their stuff, because they know their stuff is so good, that people will pay for overpriced tickets to see them live, not to mention concessions and relics like T shirts and hats.
They know they can rake in way more from 100k tickets+merch than 500k album sales and hawking stuff on their websites.
Besides, people won't be more likely to buy your stuff if you prevent them from even hearing it. It's not like a guy recommends you a band in a bar and then you go out and buy their CD, or just randomly pay 50 bucks to go to a concert of people you've never heard about.
In any case, it's nothing but a sign of massive insecurity that they think a game would take away from their legacy.
