Merry Christmas, everyone!
Merry Christmas BOIIIII
Merry Christmas, Civvie!
Merry Christmas mate, even though it's only 23 december .😅
Mery Christmas brother! Always enjoy the videos :)
You were literally the first guy to wish me merry Christmas, thanks a lot Civvie11!!! A merry Christmas to you aswell!!
I guess I'm the musical equivalent of Big John now. I just show up in other games randomly.
I just want to be the first one to reply to this before Civvie hearts it and you get hundreds of likes. Yay me.
a unexpected surprise but a welcome one.
Dude, I love your tracks. Distilled Chaos is great. I deliberately stand around at the start of Amid Evil's E2M2, Forgone Fortress, just so I can have the drums kick in when I actually start killin' monster statues. It's such an ominous tune, it really pumps up the atmosphere.
You are great at what you do man, keep at it !
You do an amazing job, it's no wonder you keep showing up.
Thank you for the props, Civvie! Very much obliged. I'm glad you liked the music enough to devote a segment to it.
The music's so good!
Always fun seeing surprise guests in the comments of Civvie's videos.
I have to say, lee jackson paying attention to Civvie11, He's getting a collection going folks!
Stargunner soundtrack was my shit when growing up, I remember letting the game paused just to hear the music (second episode, Terran if I recall correctly, had my favorite tunes) And also Kevin Schilder with Heretic's music, damn... I'm not aware of many games that used MIDI music, but the few ones that did sound really fucking good
Damn, man, Lee himself is tuned in!
Lee Jackson YOOO IT’S THE MAN HIMSELF
Fun fact: dog mode was based on George Broussard’s dog Loki, who was recorded for the sound effects and was the basis for its sprites.
The whole game is stuffed of... uhh... easter eggs?... like the license plate of the NME or (as the video explains it) the sounds in god mode ^^
Dog of Incredible Power :)
pretty neat

This is your brain 🧠. This is your brain on BSP:🥚💥, any questions?
I've actually been to San Nicolas Island. It's primarily a naval radar installation, where ships stop to calibrate their own systems before heading out to sea. It's also home to a crapload of elephant seals and sea lions, as well as the great white sharks which prey on them. It also has all these tiny little foxes on it, which are surprisingly tolerant of humans, sometimes outright friendly. A biologist I spoke to there believes they may have been brought over and kept as pets by early native settlers of the island.
My point is that these cultists must be fairly badass to have kicked the US Navy off the island.
all they needed to do to kick the navy off the island is throw a gay pride parade nearby
@Kadeo64 Yeah, anyone eho doesn't attend would get court marshalled, it makes sense.
They have the NME. 'Nuff said...
Fun fact: the shareware episode of Rise of the Triad released on the very same day as Marathon, so both games hold the record of being the first FPS games with dual-wielding.
marathon also had rocket jumps
Chandler Ruoff It also had the terminal system from Doom 4 & Doom Eternal for its story, plus there's a mod predating Doom 4 called Marathon Eternal, based on a cut Alpha story for Halo 1, complete with a shield world crossed with a Halo ring and 343 Guilty Spark making a cameo as "The Watcher" albeit as a traditional AI instead of a floating metal ball. (Halo was going to be a Marathon 4 but that idea was scrapped quite early, plus Bungie toned down references to it in later games so Microsoft couldn't snatch the trilogy from them)
@@chandlerruoff6866 Marathon had two different kinds of Rocket Jumps even. The "Grenade Hop" that's what we all think of now at Rocketing Jumping and the Rocket Recoil, which only worked off of ledges or midair because of how powerful the rocket launcher is.
@Lion O Cyborg God, Eternal's good. Whenever I do a trilogy replay, I always add that one as a the fourth game in the trilogy. I suspect the UNSC ship Eternity might be a reference to that why with it's sister ship being the Infinity, maybe being a nod as Marathon 3 is called Infinity.
Duamerthrax Indeed. I also count Tempus Irae & its sequel, The Lost Levels as the sequel to Eternal and Rubicon as well as the upcoming Chronicles as sequels to those in that order. Also, Marathon 1 had grenade climbing and all three had wall walking as well: the latter is when you aim the assault rifle down and fire as you jump so you somehow make to an otherwise unreachable ledge, and the former is spamming grenade jumps and primary assault rifle fire so you float higher and higher.
The result is the same: it looks like Marcus is bridging the gaps/walls with a staircase made of speeding bullets. I _wish_ I could make something like that up! Grenade climbing is still possible in the sequels but as grenade jumping was badly nerfed, it's a lot harder without Megabyte's GZ Doom style jumping script to let the player try grenade jumping Halo style.
@@lionocyborg6030 I've played most of those and they're good, but Eternal felt more like a proper sequel, while the others felt more like good fanfiction. Rubicon might be the close second to matching the original story feel.
Daikatana is coming CV-11, you can't escape from your fate forever
Ohh yeah, definitely - can't wait for Civie11 to get shocked again 😂
I actually liked the game in closer to mid 2000's after market was flooded with generic CoD shooters. Was a breath of fresh air at the time.
Later episode levels are confusing as balls in worst 90's ways possible.
I was about to go "eh it ain't that bad from what I played" but then I remembered "oh wait I played it with the fan patch that lets you turn the AI companions off, and Civvie said back in the Hatred video he doesn't use mods for his videos because he wants to review them as they're sold." Welp good luck dealing with Superfly and Mikiko, Civvie.
@@BloodRedFox2008 I can't go on without my buddy Superfly!
"Play the game Civvie!"
FYI you're using the split missile wrong. If you hold down the fire button it shoots one straight missile like the bazooka. You can then release the button to make it do the split at will. This gives it some practical use if you get good at aiming it. If you just hit the fire button it shoots both to the side and is pretty useless.
Wtf, never heard of that.
I'd be worried if I wasn't doing something wrong. Thank you, sir.
holy shit, I was today years old when you told me this, that's amazing.
@@Civvie11 No problem. ROTT is one of my favorite games, so thank you for giving it some love. It doesn't get nearly as much recognition as it deserves.
This would've saved nerves back in the days, lol :D
The FPS where enemies plead for you to spare their lives... and then shoot you. This game was crazy. I remember writing Apogee and pleading with them to port it to 3DO of all things because I had one and I couldn't afford to buy a PC. For some reason they weren't interested in spending time and money to port their game onto a system that only 5 other people owned.
That is literally a war crime btw.
The feigning surrender part, not the owning a 3DO.
Did you at least have the original Need for Speed for your 3DO?
@@aidangarvey7049 Of course. Many happy days spent racing, swinging chains and listening to Soundgarden.
I hate it when games do that. Have enemies that feign surrender, but never actually surrender. So I'm the guy murdering people begging for their life because I know 100% that if I let them go, they'll try to kill me again, even though I'm in top tier armor with A MAGICAL EXPLOSIVE SHOTGUN, and already saved the region from an existential threat.
What games did you have on your 3do?
What I remember about the NME boss was that the game's instruction manual, which gave tips on most of the bosses, just had for its section something along the lines of "We can't beat him most of the time either. Good luck."
Extremely 90s kind of charm there.
Cnc manual was better

While Rise of the Triad is kind of jank and I like Episodes 3 and 4 far less than 1 and 2, I can't help but admire how downright insane it is and how *chill* it is about being insane. It's not going all hEyA lOoK, a DoG mOdE, wElL tHaT's UnUsUaL, it's just "Yeah, you can turn into an invincible dog that can gib people via barking too loud. No biggie". That's what sells the game to me personally.
Well, that, and the killer soundtrack.
And the God mode is just, beautiful.
ROTT is pure silly uncalculated nuts and is still one of the most fun FPS to play. Like Dungeon Keeper 1 among strategies.
"the government couldn't afford another skiff, so the hunt swam back to the mainland"
Where has this game been my whole life?
@@NSFSponsor up your ass
Well, least RotT is good jank, and not bad unplayable jank. That's definately in its favor. Especially when it just decides to embrace its nature and roll with everything.
Tom said that he believes he still has the El Oscuro robe stashed away in a closet somewhere. Really chill guy, funny as hell too. Kind of a shame he's resigned himself to pushing mobile stuff and doing Mario Maker levels when his free time permits but all things considered, the man has earned it.
@Zoomer Waffen It's not my thing personally but apparently when people who actually have some understanding of level design and mechanics go ham in it instead of following the prime directive of "make levels ball achingly and soul crushingly difficult" or a conveyor belt where the player hardly interacts with anything, it's possible to get really creative with it.
turns out those mobile dash games make a fuck ton of money.
Ah yes, a game full of rocket launchers, what could possibly go wrong.
ICARUSLIV3S Didn’t think I’d see you here
So when’s the Too Many Rocket Launchers mod rollin’ out?
Yes
What is a “backblast?”

18:45 For context, Tom Hall was the lead game designer for "Gordon Ramsey: Dash", a mobile game developed by PlayFirst, where Tom Hall currently works.
He makes mobile games now?
@@rawrdino7046 After the collapse of Page Industries, times got tough.
He didn't deserve a mobile game studio
@@TooMuchSascha he enjoys what he does, why should we try to stop him?
does the game's title contain that dreadful typo, or was that a courtesy of this comment?
One thing I loved about RotT was the option to shrink the screen if you have a slow computer, if you shrank to the lowest possible setting it just displayed the text "consider upgrading your computer".
This is still a meme of sorts among me and my friends.
The actual text was "Buy a 486 ;)" - a luxury in those times, heh.
@Zoomer Waffen Well, that's a social problem, not a technological. Don't blame the tools, blame the wielder.
@Zoomer Waffen Well, apparently the demand is more smartphones which leads to more zombies. That doesn't make me constantly watch at a smartphone and ignore everyone around me that I am interacting with. The responsibility lies within us, not the technology.
@Zoomer Waffen Don't get me wrong, I agree that tech has to serve humans, solve their problems and has to make lives easier. Keeping with the example, smartphones are doing just that, but they are also zombifying their users. Just like with a knife, you can prepare food or you can kill people, it cuts both ways (pun totally intended). Hence why I insist that it depends on the wielder of the tech and not the tech itself.
@Zoomer Waffen lol, the nazi is going to try and preach to us
Notes from ROTT:DW speedrunner (after suffering a year of reviewing C code to get this game to almost under 42 min)
Optimally, the best character to use in the game is Thi. She only has a slight speed loss compared to Lorelei, but has 15 more units of health. So it's a nice trade off; Slightly slower, but can take a few more hits.
All of the projectile weapons damage are determine by the formula x((random>>y)+z). (x) being the multiplier, (y) being how many bits are shifted in regards to random (For instance, random value 50 would actually be 6 if (y) is 3) then added onto base number (z). Dark Staff has the highest base number , at 190. Despite being slower, the pistol deals more damage than the MP-40.
Mentioned in the official Apogee FAQ, if you somehow get caught in a moving wall without dying, you can phase through it. This can be done on E3A1 (robo-tricks as i've been calling it) to pass through the "wave" of moving walls and in theory skip a good portion of Four-Way Chamber.
The "Capsules" that you break in the Darian level, depending on the order you destroy them, can manipulate which door Darian exits to get into the main area of the arena.
NME is definitely indeed bullshit, however, the behavior is (somewhat) simple. Essentially, NME takes a "snapshot" of where you are whenever you are in it's line of sight. Once it has done this, it will head to this spot, changing behavior only if you are in sight again. After it hits this spot, it'll free roam till it sees you again. Since it only attacks when it's a particular distance away from you, you can cheese the fight by getting it into situations where it takes a straight line route to you. Firebomb at the start, and 1-2 (full)bazooka's later, ya done. Fastest fight was ~30s.
El Oscuro part 1 is the high S-tier bullshit that I am still attempting to figure out but, essentially, you would want to cheese this "fight" as well by taking advantage of the level layout near the elevator. Get around the touchplate that seals the elevator, wake up EO, lure them to near the elevator, get back to infront of it, and try to manipulate their pathfinding to where they are behind a column. Sometimes they get into a state where you have to walk forward a bit to get them not in their flying state and then backup so you don't get hit by them. When they are close to you, they do both charge and "fire head" attacks. These two attacks seem to lower his health a considerable amount and as such, are the attack you want them to do the most.
You can also do rocket jumps using the god mode attack. It's cool as shit, but you have to have precise timing to pull it off.
There is definitely more, but it's gonna be more troving through the code. Hopefully I can get sub 40 in the practice room during AGDQ.
made a uh-oh in the formula, it's x* ((random>>y)+z)
Remember to pray to our lord and savior RNGsus every day, with a token offering to Fire Emblem Tactician level supercluster brain John Carmack while you dig through code.

This was cool to read, thank you!
I always found it funny that I could never really use the fastest character, but had to use the slightly slower, slightly tankier character; and it's pretty cool with ROTT, that it's for speed running too.
"This shit is Megaman X good"
That's about the highest compliment you can give to a VG soundtrack ever.
*Smiles in Hotline Miami and Enter The Gungeon*
@@kalibruhmoment3032 Eh, most of HLM's music is cut/looped versions of the respective artists songs.
Now No Straight Roads? THAT'S A BANGER OF A SOUNDTRACK.
Alright, so, I'm a drop this?
There are soundtracks that transcend their games. There are also games that transcend their intended audience because of soundtrack. It's give and take.
But MegaMan X's soundtrack gets a special shout out by society, because it was made by the game in a sense. The tone and tempo was tempered by what the game was. And the MMX soundtrack leaked into non gaming communities because... It has some banging bops, but brought the clout of being so good on its own, while being tied to a damn good game? Yeah. It carried both its own clout but it's stage. Special circumstances.
On the other hand? Look at Deadly Towers NES. That soundtrack actually is amazing. But... The game itself frequently contends for the top 10 of all ""worst games ever" lists. Willing to bet not many people know that opening theme. It's fantastic.
Suddenly, I want to take the MIDI files for the soundtrack and convert them into the Mega Man X soundfont
Huh I just replayed mega man x like 5 minutes ago

I just love how the image of Andrew Hulshult in the trashcan at 5:52 actually got used in ROTT Ludicrous Edition's trailer.
I studied in a franciscan school and the monk's robes looked very similar to the one the monks from that order use so... I was kinda confused when I was little, but still filled them with lead.
that's the spirit, kiddo
I imagine that was super awkward if they saw you playing it.
Would this game technically be considered a school shooting simulator, then?
I guess for a very limited audience. xD

The John Carmack jokes will never get old.
Because it's terrifyingly true.
The lava texture literally just says "lava"
The split missile fires straight when you hold the fire key, then splits and homes-in when you let go. So best used fired through a door into a room before you split.
The "gravity defying" enforcer grenades are so you can bat them back using the excalibat.
And just to mention, another cool (for the time) feature is that glass doesn't break when you walk up to it, but hold shift/run and you'll smash through it, taking a bit of damage.
"The "gravity defying" enforcer grenades are so you can bat them back using the excalibat."
What the fuck i've just learned about this and that's some next gen level shit that i love.
greenhillmaniac… amazing. How did I not know about any of these things? Thanks for sharing.
@@KayX291 On top of that, you can bat back the projectiles of the deathfire monks as well. And some of El Oscuro's.
So after all these years I finally found a reason to use the excalibat
Of these details I gotta say the glass shattering sounds the coolest. Busting straight through a window is peak action movie power fantasy shit, exactly the kind of thing I hope the game overall rewards the player for knowing about. Hidden areas with loot? Practical escape route to navigate an otherwise perilous fight? Sign me the fuck up!

This game feels like it came from an alternate universe where tech took longer to progress in the 90's, and there was a whole generation of raycaster shooters that expanded on what Wolf3D could do without changing the fundamental architecture. Like the software equivalent of steampunk.
Dibs on "pushwallpunk" for the Wolf/ROTT/Blake subgenre.

That intro stage be hitting different tho
I always found it kinda funny that Tom Hall left id because he didn't want to make violent games like Doom all the time.
And then immediately after that he made ROTT.
Koko Actually Tom left because he wanted Doom to be more like Marathon and have a strong story to go hand in hand with its stellar gameplay, going by the Doom Bible, as well as having the environments try to make architectural sense. He sort of got his wish with Brutal Doom Extermination Day, Doom 4 and Doom Eternal, though Doom 3 tried something similar. Most of his plans for Doom 1 were simplified or vetoed by the two Johns, the story was dumbed down to its traditional Mario or Classic Sonic standards and the levels became the glorified mouse mazes we associate with pre-Duke 3D shooters like Doom and Marathon 1.
@@lionocyborg6030 >glorified mouse mazes
Knee deep in the dead is still a standard most modern FPS can't hold up to.
Georgi Hadzhiev I never said it was bad level design. Just that it no longer resembles an actual Martian moon base like Tom Hall intended. (Though Tom Hall's design was before the move from Tei Tenga I think) We wouldn't see attempts at realistic level design until either System Shock 1 or Duke Nukem 3D. That doesn't mean Knee Deep in the Dead doesn't play well.

Can't wait for Extreme Rise of The Triad. I did play it recently, and I quite enjoyed some of the new gimmicks and tricks they managed to pull.
YOU FINALLY DID IT
MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN HEARD
THANKS CIVVIEMAN
6:15 Rise of the Triad does NOT have a good source-port for a few reasons. Even though Apogee released the source code for ROTT, it was built using outdated compiler known as "Watcom C". There is some inline assembly instructions present in the source code that strictly enforce Watcom C, since most modern C compilers (GCC, and MSVC) do not support inline assembly. Watcom C also uses outdated coding standards that are not supported by any of the newer C specifications, so it would require re-writing a lot of the old source code for logic.
You should definitely give Lucasarts' Outlaws a try sometime ^^ It's very similar to these type of games, though definitely a little less expansive and not as technically impressive. Fun, though!
Seconded ! This game was big fun .
"I had Winamp open"
Ok boomer
I miss Winamp.
@@DinnerForkTongue I'd advise you to install WACUP, it's an unofficial update done by the head honcho of pre-Radionomy Winamp.
Winamp was the shit. You could play nearly anything on it with proper plug ins. Miss that thing.
@@edwardthehazardous1524
An update to Winamp, you mean, right? Not a standalone? Just making sure, I don't have the Winamp installer on my computer.
@@abadenoughdude300 don't forget that kickass equalizer before windows media player came up with their visual one.

why am i spending more time with doom than my family?
Because it's Doom. It has a Super Shotgun. Does your family have a Super Shotgun?

@@nathanielcrosby2426 how did you know he was my grandpa?
Civvie, why didn't you play the shareware levels? Those are like the best levels of the Rise of the Triad levels. Do that instead of subjecting yourself to Extreme ROTT.
I'm probably weird and showing my age, but this is the Christmas special I keep coming back to. I think it's partly because you show the awesomeness of 90s works of passion. Another Christmas with this as my main video!
Oh look, Civvie has come to this!
Time to crack open my last cold Monster Ultra.
God that's terrible
I met someone who said that Monster killed their mother. I laughed my ass off not realizing they were serious. She had an embolism.
Victims. Aren't we all?
4:17 Actually, GOG's re-release of the game does have the soundtrack. 15:42 Also, I read recently that the way the Split Missile is supposed to work is that you shoot it and hold LMB and release when you want the missiles to split.
What the? How... Civvie... Where did you get that footage of Gordon Ramsey?!
He pulled it off TH-cam, just like everyone else.
Its a Christmas miracle!!
I feel like his use of Gordon Ramsay clips - basically this entire time - was just so he could bust out the Ramsay/Hall clip when appropriate. That's one hell of a long-game.
@@fuzzydunlop7928
And it paid off.

A long game while playing games the entire time for this long......this is some inception shit.
thank god they nerfed the monk health in ludicrous edition

30:26 Actually, Marathon 1 in 1994 did rocket jumping first in the form of grenade jumping, and while Marathon 2 & Infinity in the next 2 years had it as well, they badly nerfed it. For example of Marathon 1's superior grenade jump system, there's one secret in the third level you cannot reach without rocket jumping. If you can't rocket jump and enter the secret, you have to reload a saved game to get out and it's not even a bug. This is from a later map and an outdated version of the game (hence the horrible HUD design) but Marathon rocket jumping is like this: th-cam.com/video/8KPXBOGfmgA/w-d-xo.html
Marathon 1 also did rooms over rooms first and Marathon 2 in 1995 did swimming first before Duke 3D and Star Wars Dark Forces, but that's another story. Marathon 2's swimming handles just fine except trying to climb out sucks.
I wonder how Marathon would've impacted the industry if it had been released on PC. It's pretty much a Half-Life prototype.
KVELLER Same. A Halo prototype too given it's by the same company and there are similarities.
Marathon came out the same day as RotT if I remember correctly, though. I don't know about demo and shareware releases, but from what I recall of a discussion on this very subject it didn't seem like one had explosive jumping in a public release much earlier than the other.
I think it's fair to say that the games share the accolade of being the first FPSes to let you use explosives to jump higher, and the first to incorporate that into level design (the Mt. Erebus secret in DOOM is notable but doesn't strictly count; it's a horizontal boost rather than vertical).
I guess maybe you could say RotT was the first game to have what we would recognize as "normal" rocket jumping (blasting a rocket into the ground at your feet), and Marathon the first to have grenade jumping?
@@LonelySpaceDetective The shareware episode came out the same day as Marathon. The full game came out in 1995, which is why the opening says "one year in the future" as it means "one year after The HUNT begins". I think Marathon beat the shareware ROTT by a couple of hours, but I can't be sure. They both share the concept of needing a certain weapon to grenade jump: Marathon's assault rifle grenade launcher (you _can_ rocket jump, but it just kills you unless you have full health and both layers of shields) and ROTT's Firebomb. ROTT 2013 lets you rocket jump with any missile weapon though.
@@lionocyborg6030 Ahh, so I mixed up the shareware and final releases of RotT then. I apologize for getting that wrong.
Seems like Marathon may very well have been the first to have explosive jumping incorporated into level design then, I don't recall if RotT's shareware levels had any secrets that needed rocket jumps.
I suppose Marathon is also technically the first to have normal rocket jumps too, but from how you made it sound it was still too lethal to be practical there. Man, I still need to play through the Marathon games.

Hey Civvie, Hey Civvie, Hey Civvie, Hey Civvie have you see the Rise of the Triad: LUDICROUS EDITION - Reveal Trailer :D
"This shit is Mega Man X good."
Civvie, you're my bro.
I tell ya few things are as satisfying for me as playing Russian Overkill on GZDoom with the Bolognese mod on a big map with tons of monsters with nothing but Suck This on repeat.
Yea, I remember the gore was really something back then. Later, soldier of fortune had 3d models and intestines, another milestone in gore.
And Quake II had dynamic model damage.
Check out the gore/gibs in Trepang2.
Even better than FEAR 1.
@@Gruntvc thanks for the heads up, looks cool
Sin (released weeks before Half Life 1) had positional damage, that game looks dumb as fuck but it plays GOOD. You have to play it to understand. But yeah, from what I hear Soldier of Fortune seems to have the most brutal insane gibs in FPS history
Wait a minute....
Run like *smeg* ?
Most likely a Red Dwarf refernce.
You smeghead.
Petition for pro Marathon
Oh god yes.
Another fun fact. That rating of 4 is actually read as “wanton and gratuitous violence” 3 is “blood and gore”
Thank you for this nostalgia, Civvie! Loved that game! Despite all its shortcomings, and me having played a lot of Wolf, Doom and Heretic before it, I remember being so overwhelmed by it, that I played for 4 hours straight and then went home thinking it was the best-looking most awesome game ever.
Btw, you forgot to mention there was a first kind of bot mode in this game! It was called "deluder" mode, deluder being a fast evasive object for target practice, that regrettably didn't fight back, but it was still fun =D

"I know that these nerds weren't doing drugs."
Well, there's always D&D and, of course, nastier stuff - like GURPS, for one. So I wouldn't be too sure.
I prefer nerds of old with their cool D&D than modern-day LARP'ers (yes, this still exists in major urban centers... and yes, they take this shit seriously...)
24:01 I love ya for the Muppet reference, man! XD
18:44 I could just see you doing your biggest, most Non Jim Carry Grinch smile as you finished that sentence.
25:50 Damn, I forgot how awesome the boss music in ROTT is.
As Civvie said, RotT's music is SotN-tier. Always worth a revisit.
NO talking about the Christmas music that plays around the holidays on the CHRISTMAS video of ROTT????
Man, I've been hearing God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen a LOT lately. We sang that in choir like 3 years ago.
Hey Civvie, the split missiles are for hallways! They'll stick together while you hold the fire button down, then turn at 90 degrees and heatseek. Lets you shoot around corners.
