I have no idea where this game is going, but it's certainly magical places in every sense of the word with stuff like Harry's broom sitting around.

I feel like there needs to be some kind of Russian Games Megathread to document all the second-tier games that seem to be popping up on Steam and the like.

This is amazing to watch, so keep going!

They want to show off all the environments their engine can produce yet the last 5 or 6 levels were all grey metal with very drab square rooms.

I guess all pretense of them caring about the plot is gone now that lab techs are working with the borg.

If you want a cutscene to trigger a mechanism, do you
a) script the cutscene to trigger the mechanism, or
b) put your faith in an NPC scripted to push the button that triggers the mechanism?

There's bad level design and there's...

I'm 8 minutes into the video and I am disappointed that you never addressed the idiotic fake-Caucasian* accent that they gave to the supposedly Latin Americans.

*For those not in the loop: "caucasian" here means "from Caucasus countries", i.e. Armenia/Georgia/Azerbaijan/southern parts of Russia

A 3D primitive drops from above and squishes you. Early versions of Maya were crude and it took centuries to get it to the current level of non-lethal modelling software.

The Purgatory levels giving way to the jungle was a bit of a shock, didn't think I would ever see so much life and colour in this nightmare. Waterfalls, bridges, plants, the sounds of birds chirping and water dashing on the rocks. For a moment I thought it was a different game until it whipped out its Hellforces quirks again.

Partly on that topic, I just realized in the last few videos that the producers were called "ORION" and not "ARIAN" or "A-RYAN" or something similar. I kept wondering why you weren't addressing that name in your comments. :downs: Those guys seem like they would think having an "edgy" name would be funny.

I'm impressed that they even tried to have a story in this game. It feels like they were making Axe Cop the game, except not funny at all. I may have fallen asleep a few times during the LP (not your fault. You're doing a great job, but this game....), but as far as I remember the plot so far: You are interrogated by an agent or officer about something and tell your story. Your girlfriend who's on drugs disappeared and a guy named Hacksley and a Henry Cole are involved somehow. You go outside and are instantly attacked by zombies, then cyborg cops. The lights go out and stay that way forever. Some satan worship is involved. You fight a robot dog. You get transported to an alien base. You fight aliens, suddenly you're attacked by orcs. You fight your cyborg girlfriend and swear revenge on Hacksley. I think you get it soon after? You discover humans grown in tanks and go through a portal that sends you to Peru where you fight mercenaries in Mayan ruins.

I'm guessing the next mission is probably fighting werewolves on the moon or something.

edit: oh, didn't realize you had updated.

What is up with this game's sound design? There's a sound effect in the underground section that I think is supposed to be rocks falling but it sounds more like explosions and then a helicopter passing overhead.

Except it's during the tunnel segment.

And I guess it's supposed to be an ambient sound.

That completely pointless pipes sewers actually severely offends me. It proves that yes, they CAN make reasonably lit areas you can actually SEE poo poo in, they just... haven't for most of the parts of the game.

While I'm complaining about sound design, what the hell is with the breathing sound effects? Are they supposed to be Steve? To let you know enemies are near? Like, who's supposed to be doing the ... uh ... audible breathing? I don't even know what to call it because it doesn't sound like heavy breathing. It's just ... weird.

Man, I just watched the Vivisector LP thanks to this one, and... it actually seems kind of good? Not GOTYAY material to be sure, but I can certainly see myself spending a tenner or so on it. Is there anywhere I can get the English version of that game cheaply?

It used to be on gamersgate. Not available to me when I check but it could be a region block.
Amazon has some copies.

Let's play a game:
I have the final episode primed and ready. All in favour of seeing the end to Hellforces post an "Aye!"
When the number of Ayes reaches the number of new regular enemy types (not on fire, not bosses) introduced in the final 30 minutes of the game, the update goes live and nobody wins.

Are you loving serious with that teleporter maze? What the christ.

Edit: So.... your only effective weapons are explosive in tightly packed corridors and with doors that live to see you suffer. Right. It's a pity that it sucks so hard because I actually liked the mix of banality and otherworldly with the office demons.

Legendary tried to do mythical beasts in a modern city. It was almost but not quite mediocre.
