Can do. 👍 it'll be changed for the next video.

Perigren

Looks like i got a game to add to my library once i can get myself to stop playing roboquest. Btw definitely recommend playing that in the offtime between these reviews!

Civvie, change my nickname to CV-94-ESP (Rawboi), please.

…aaaaaand click goes the wishlist. If my wallet wasn’t a barren field, rife with mothballs and currently exhibiting negative numbers, I’d buy it straight away. Congratulations on getting Chucky-fied! I hope your Tinder profile includes the line: ”I’m currently featured in two video games as a homicidal teddy bear and a fat drug dealer.” You’d definitely get the right kind of matches. 👍🤔

Absolutely epic video!!!! I love it!! For me, I would define Daikatana as God-tier Civvie, and this is approaching that tier. In 2024. You absolutely love to see it.

It does get a bit daunting when a lot of the games have similar objectives so I like to highlight unique things about a game. This video was scripted the way it is because I knew I'd need a spoiler section and I wanted to talk about the game's systems and how they work together. Sometimes a game will lend itself to a linear script because certain things will happen that are great to set up and then pay off for the audience. Like if we were talking about the Turbo Overkill video, showing off everything as the game progresses helps people understand my deep hatred of Maw and his bullshit. For every video, I capture all the gameplay I do, take notes during play, import all the footage, and then mark the clips I want in Premiere while writing the script. This makes editing go a lot faster. It also helps if you've got a gag or a joke you want to lead up to, like in the Descent video with the Guide Bot bits where I, entirely during the scripting process, decided to write in a thing about it constantly dying. This also was a problem because I had to go back and kill the boss again and capture footage in order to make the final bit where I rename him work since I didn't do that in the original playthrough. If you've got something that you want to talk about in the video that really interests you, try writing a script that will lead the audience to that point.

While I'm not surprised that people were complaining about the difficulty, I too was enjoying having my shit pushed in near constantly through my initial run. The small sliver of regening health WAS pretty much my health bar during many fights. To the point that I would joke every time I would top up my health and armor that I couldn't wait to lose it all in the opening 2 seconds of the next firefight lol. I had thought a few times while playing that there was probably folks out there having a bad time, screeching into the chaotic void that is the Steam forums but like Ravenholm, I don't go there anymore. Thanks for an awesome video on a fucking fantastic game Civvie.

How do you go about writing your script for your videos? I imagine you get your notes in some linear fashion, but you have, what I perceive as, a very non-linear way of presenting your thoughts. They're entirely coherent. Edit: For transparency, I want to step into the world of game reviews with a humorous edge to them, but I find I write and would end up presenting my content in a way that would be entirely too linear. Especially for a game that is arcady and samey with each level having a similar, if not identical goal. Keeping something like that fresh seems difficult when you try to cover everything that is all but the same looking, ie: a sidescroller.

I had been on the wall about getting this game, having forgotten you talking about it cause of previous head trauma. It has now been bought. Now. the real question. Where can i buy a teddie11 bear with all the voicelines in real life. Seriously. russian roulette with a 500 magnum serious.

Silentphil9

Selaco or Sulaco?? Hmmmm.....

KazooTablature

I can't watch this one yet since I'm actually playing this game. It's pretty awesome!

FURIOUS_MASTICATION

Yo the Total Chaos callout, fuck yeah! I love that game

Macdeth

Is that joy I hear in your voice?

Erik Olsson (TerrorBlades)

Horrific, thank you

Civvie

The cell has a toilet, not a sink

Erik Olsson (TerrorBlades)

Excellent episode I have been hopeing this would be as good as it sounds! But Civvie did you not wash your hands after peeing?

Lloyd Walls

Instant buy from me and another fantastic video. The wait for the next two chapters is going to be rough but I hope they take their time. Plus it lets them take the feedback to improve on the rare parts of the game that don’t work as well as everything else.

Civvie

Interesting. Has this been a problem in previous videos as well? I try to mix the music very low but not so low that only some of it comes through and is distracting

The 11th Plague

Dear Civvie, putting music over your speech, however low it might be, made it a lot more difficult for me to hear you properly. Please consider this and thanks for reading this.

Welcome to the Shameless Selaco Shill Society.

Dénes Hliva

Ah, Selaco, right. The game i played the demo of because you mentioned it some time ago and i thought it was really cool.

Twilight Researcher

Been following this one since the demo. Bought it day 1 on Early Access release, but had been squatting on it due to other games. Welp, now this is #1 on my priority list. The reminder is welcome. Definitely will be using that Teddy-11 upgrade, haha.

Der Dackel

I'll have to try Selaco again some time. But the Early Access version I played was one of the first angrily disappointed refunds I had in a long time, to the degree that I wonder if Steam accidentally installed some broken alpha-version. I haven't bounced so hard off a game everybody praises since Breath of the Wild.

a19fox

i was already sold on this game, but teddy11 didn't just sell me on it. it robbed me at point blank for how genius it is.

Valora Inverse

Well, that's encouraging me to get back to it, I'd put in about an hour on the medium skill and was having a pretty rough time, but that Master Key bit is just like "oh. mama like."

Civvie

Hey, wait a minute, I've been in a non-jank game - -oh... oh, no.

Banjo Track

Congratulations on your first role in a non-jank game!

Civvie

SELACO IS MAGIC

Nic Bergstrom

YESSSSS IVE HAD THIS ON MY WISHLIST SINCE YOUR FIRST SPOTLIGHT AND BOUGHT IT IMMEDIATELY AND NOW THIS!!!! I. LOVE. CV. 11!!!

BDP Illustrations

CIVVIE PLEASE! MY WALLET!

Eisengratz

Great review Civvie. I remember playing the demo after you showcased it the first time, and it looks like it only improved from there. Gonna need to pick it up. Also completely agree on the Scotty Factor.

Eric Lane

Teddy11 made my day, and that would make a great plushie!

Pieter

Shit, I still need to finish the EA before I can watch the video 😨

Civvie

Cancer Mouse is around. He was going to be in this video but I didn’t think the joke worked so it got cut.

Mateusz Bartoszek

The sheer amount of smoke, glass, blood (i think? the pink stuff either way) mixed with sound of 5 guns going off honestly makes me feel like being in the middle of one such movie, it's ridiculously great

Sprenzee

Civvie being pleased with a boom shoot is a good omen.

Civvie

I think I talked about the John Woo stuff in the roundup where I played the Selaco demo where it was like "in a John Woo movie, shooting a 100-page book causes it to explode into 200 pages" or something like that and Selaco makes this a reality and I love it for that.

Mateusz Bartoszek

Also can we just appreciate how in this game every shootout is like a John Woo movie but everything is made out dynamite? That's how FEAR must've felt on the day of its release

JD Scarbrough

With the combo of the enemy behavior, more tactical combat loop, and the order weapons are acquired and upgraded, Selaco sells the idea that the protagonist is an experienced gunfighter more than any game I’ve played in a very long time. I believed that Dawn had seen some shit as soon the game started her with a rifle, and I as the player felt better prepared for the challenge as a result. Most people aren’t going to care about that, but it really brought me into the story the game is trying to tell. Fighting with a pistol sucks. Ask me how I know.

RTheren

The whole Teddy11 bit at the end was just *chef's kiss*

Terminally Nerdy

WELL GETTING ME TO SPEND MONEY ON ANOTHER SHOOTER IN GENERAL THEN OH MY GOD :P I kid I kid <3 love the videos as always Civvie

NerdyOgre254

Oh that was absolutely brilliant. I ended up picking it up in the video when you said to buy it and by the time the vid was over I was thinking "so worth it"

Uncoolest_Evar

Okay fine! Ya wore me down. I went against my usual stance of not playing a story based game in early access and bought it. Ya happy? If the guy who brought Zortch into my life says it's great. Then it must be worth playing.

Mario_bland

Selaco is so high effort that they found a way to toll civvie and not put a sewer in it.

andrea dworkin for the weekend

Game feels like the best possible version of what SiN was going for.

Steve Downes

The first video I won't be able to watch until AFTER I play the game. Bleh!

Sabrina

Finally my shitty day at work has gotten better

Thom Venables-Gordon

Yeah. There’s a version on Steam now that plays just fine, has all the original music and audio and is a damn sight easier to run on Windows 10/11 than the abandonware nightmare I had to sacrifice a goat to a few years back.

Civvie

I would say that it's a mid-2000s shooter and not a boomer shooter despite being on GZDoom.

Mateusz Bartoszek

I'm starting it now, thanks Civvie! You're the one who's the pinnacle of online entertainment. Also, curious - where tf is cancer mouse?

Terminally Nerdy

Are you really going ot make me consider getting ANOTHER Boomer Shooter, like I did with Hedon?...... yes, yes you are ya bastard LOL

Civvie

DO IT.

Tore Schweer

Doom engine, fueling modern games way past expiration date

Civvie

Take No Prisoners runs well on modern hardware?! It's been a looong time since i've played it. I honestly considered MageSlayer first but now I'm not so sure.

Suckerpunch5000

Hey that sucks! I had it a couple of months ago and like the dog said "it's ruff!" Play vids and rest up

JOE MOTHERFUCKING TREEFELNER

Fuck yes

Thom Venables-Gordon

Oh hey Civvie! Would you ever do a Take No Prisoners video? Now that it’s available on Steam and runs perfectly well on modern hardware. I know you love a bit of Raven weirdness…

Mateusz Bartoszek

I got Selaco pretty much the day it was released, played through the first two levels and honestly stopped because if this is what they call early access then I don't want to spoil myself the 1.0 release. It's tempting not to play some more though...
