[Svecke]

Hearing the vomit sound and having the particle effect bug out and not show just makes it seem like the dude violently shit himself - I almost died laughing

[irritablerodent]

Its as if the plot of 28 Days Later were happening in the background of Silence of the Lambs but none of the characters directly acknowledge it.

[chris]

I might sound very biased here, but I think no other developer managed to tap into the bad vibes of the mid-2000's better than Monolith. There is something about the desolate urban ambiance of FEAR and Condemned that I find haunting to this very day. Also the ragdolls are also top notch.

[alanwestmoreland]

I like how every NPC in this game is a violent emaciated tweaker but the final boss is hellraiser and master at kendo

[KBXband]

Having Randy Pitchfords email for complaints is a gag everyone should steal. But his laptop is probably slower than the next Duke Nukem game's planning stages

[Bapate-rhbe]

Can't walk to freedom without your buddy Superfly.

[TheGagginator]

One of my favorite games. Rest in peace, Monolith. You're stuck in the Moria mines of WB.

[valentinaskazimieras]

I just knew Civvie was going to reference Disco Elysium after the character said "has my gun". Perfection.

[DrDestructo]

I love how the early 2000s ragdolls rob the gravitas of the scene where the cops get shot with your handgun. I can't look at that scene nowadays without expecting HL2 physics thuds when they both drop like rolled-up futons.

[scooterdescooter]

anyone else notice Civvie has had a more positive attitude over the last year or two? Even when he's pissed about something, there is much less jaded cynic in his voice.


Its a good thing. I hope it continues.

[bloodrunsclear]

This was the 'star aligned' kind of game. The atmosphere is second to none.
There's never been anything like it and the sequel proved there probably never will be.
This game might actually have been more effective with literally zero story except interpretation.

[benjaminconnor]

the fact these cops have reusable tasers is probably the only reason that city hasn't fallen apart yet. We don't have Re-useable Tasers yet in Real Life.

[araamahasla]

I still can't believe that Katie isn't real and is just Civvie in drag.

[gabby]

37:11 My brain is so rotted by Skyrim videos that I instinctively said, "Never shoulda come here."

[Marcara]

I hope Civvie covers the sequel if only because it features the greatest, most deserved, but simultaneously lowest effort jumpscare of all time. It's so damn funny.

[maryus]

43:38 "despite Civvie11's rage He still just a rat in a cage."

[thesheeepjd]

Civvie is so good at reviewing games, he's like an uberreviewer, a reviewer X.

[Danne-Danger]

I have one vivid memory of Condemned. Going up against a hobo that had a gun, I stunned him in melee, took his gun, and shot him in the face so he fell down a ladder. All in a very quick and dynamic manner. Even if the rest of the game sucked the game could click and click hard. A bit like Bungie's Oni in that regard.

[procow]

Now now real cops don't mag dump unless a acorn falls in which case every officer in the vicinity will proceed to ventilate their own vehicle

[DanielSanchez-fsnv]

People don't know but those mannequins in 2005 were terrifying. This was our first view of the 360/PS3 era of horror and it was so new and unique.
