Warp to now and Nightdive Studios are remastering this. That will be cool to see.

nothing outright says this ever BUT; Half Life 1 female assassins bear the same boots as chell from Portal, the point could be made that Aperture sold some of these shoes to the government or something, where they were given to the few highly trained HCU Assassins from Half Life 1, that later ended up being dispatched to Black Mesa as the clean up crew. Explains the lack of fall damage, and maybe even the high velocity jumps the assassins always made along side mid air backflips.

half life alyx manages to combine to darkness or half life and comedy of portal together so there you go

thumbnail unappealing, the A in ARE is not a lambda symbol but the O in connected is a portal (this is satire)

the most erm akshually voice ever

In postal 4 the character known as the boss, which is the final boss of the game happens to be the dudes, father and all the people saying postal 1 dude is not postal 2 dudes father he makes so reference to the journal when you’re about to fight him

Aren’t u the guy from epic rap battles of half life?

wunning wit sissahs

get off crack so we get an upload please

I’d love to hear your opinion on postal 2 dlc eternal damnation , also what is your opinion on the 2006 film adaptation of postal .

Video games don't cause you to become a violent sociopath overnight True Fps games don't Rayman 1 however...

Nice silent hill feeling in the first one

Butt sauce

the Kalashnikov AR-16 tactical assault weapon with extended clips and rapid fire

I prefer to ignore Portal 2. Too cartoony, comedic, and scripted. None of the quiet, horrific, open-ended feel that made the first one such a staple. Portal should have been either a one-hit wonder, or the sequel should have been ENTIRELY different.

10:15 Reminds me of Papas pizzeria

GLaDOS monologue during the Portal 1 bossfight after you destroy the third core: "Are you trying to escape? [chuckle] Things have changed since the last time you left the building. What's going on out there will make you wish you were back in here." "I have an infinite capacity for knowledge, and even I'm not sure what's going on outside." "All I know is I'm the only thing standing between us and them. Well, I was." "Unless you have a plan for building some supercomputer parts in a big hurry, this place isn't going to be safe much longer."

3D Realms is dogshit at the moment, no one shouldbuy anything from them anymore. They managed to fuck up every-single-release *Graven is crap *Kingping is crap *Wrath is boring *Core Decay is cancelled *Phantom is rushed af and they are about to release Ripout unfinished. For me this is it. 3DR nevermore

I find it funny that half of the horror games don't scare me but postal 1 exists and its unironically disturbing, some other games like Hatred tried to be the next "postal 1" but failed so horribly that they added the main character from hatred in postal redux and made fun of the game. And quite honestly, there will never be another game like the original postal.

The Portal gameplay in the first seconds of the video made my day! It was too funny. Liked and subbed just because of that.

very much appreciated, thx

Just found a big box version of this game for 9$ from a thrift store, can't believe it!

0:22 no this is bad comedy

What? You don't sell Postal?

Ion dev here, I think it's mostly that Aftershock was announced a bit too early and the scope grew from a few maps to basically what we considered closest thing to a sequel for the game :) As for when it comes to Phantom/etc.. we only found out about it during the same public reveal. We (voidpoint) always worked in pretty much full isolation ourselves with next to no funding and scarce information on what's going on.. (none of us were employed by 3dr/etc). Blame on a lot of the delays is on us however! I will say that it having covid / full-time job on the side definitely didn't help :D

I’d nominate BAD MOJO for “Darkest Game Ever”

3650 is the connection

I finished the game and liked it... its no masterpiece, but better than all this AAA trash games.

Dude claims to be a fan of the series, talks how announcing a DLC after some time is a red flag, but then says he barely even finished most of the games in the series. Tf is his problem?

13:01 The Bruh-ssiles

Postal 1 is cool postal 2 is funny.

BUTTSAUCE!! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

Is this a bad game because A) it's a good/acceptable game that wasn't what most gamers wanted or expected from the second game in a franchise B) actually a bad game or C) this months flavor of the Hot-Shit-Take Dogpile Topic

Ion Fury (and Aftershock) is an unbelievably complex piece of work considering it's made using an advanced version of the Build engine. Everything has to be done by hand - for example, you can't just place a light source and have everything be lit properly like in games using fully 3D engines, you have to actually create individual wall textures to simulate the different states of light/shadows. Add in how complex the levels are, the numerous different weapons, the Arrange mode added in the expansion, etc... the amount of time it's taken for the game and its expansion to be polished by what must be a fairly small team to such a shockingly high quality becomes a lot more understandable.

It’s too bad the game turnout like this. Don’t know if I was going to play this, but I was looking forward to seeing fans of the series play it. It’s crazy how in a way a game continually getting delayed might be worse than being rushed (Infinite is a great example of a game where basically nothing got done because the way it was organized was beyond atrocious. It’s pretty crazy just how useless 343’s leadership is and how they used contact workers who were part of isolated teams that were largely doing their own thing). The thing you said about the game being boring and requiring some HEAVY reworks to become good make me think of Starfield (I was going to play that through GamePass, but it wouldn’t let me install it and the cloud gaming was too slow so I just did something else). Callisto Protocol is another game that would need to COMPLETELY change what it is to become good (my idealized version of that game would be like a mashup of Condemned Criminal Origins where you’d have smart human enemies and melee focus combat. While, also having the zombies and make them be like the Necromorphs where melee is a last resort you DON’T want to do. There’s this interesting 40 minute video where some guy did a deep dive into the connections between PUBG and Callisto, and shockingly the story would’ve actually been interesting if they stayed in the same universe. Like most people I had NO IDEA that PUBG even had lore and was confused because Krafton never presented any of the story through their game. It’s all out of game stuff. The most interesting thing is that it likely would’ve been a battle royal type situation where you’d have prisoners being let out in a controlled environment, while the zombies gradually spread throughout the prison. Such a shame we got a dumpster fire that probably can’t be saved). You should do more short ramble videos in between your normal ones. That way you’ll be able to produce more content.

If that so what Voidpoint working on right now?

It's perfectly fine. It's not as good as ion maiden, but it's not 'every youtuber has to make a video on how fake outraged they are' tier.

Change your vid name to say "Slipgate Ironworks" or you're going to quite rightly, get yourself a lot of well deserved hate

Aftershock took a long time to make, just like Ion Fury did, because it's a very small team of modders working with an extremely out of date engine who's level editor is a nightmare to work with. Obviously it's going to take a long time to make anything under those conditions. I don't see why that would ever be a "red flag".

Why are you so cynical?

Tis a shame how PF turned out but given slipgate/nu-3dr track record it's not all that surprising, one thing that another comment pointed out is that the nu 3dr is not the same one that made duke3d and shadow warrior, these guys just use the name to trick people Into thinking they are the ones who made those classics tho in their defense its probably a decision made solely by Frederik schrieber, that guy is a total weasel. Nu 3dr also had nothing to do with ion fury or aftershock outside of publishing, voidpoint did all the work and from what I've been told it got delayed because of 2 reasons, one is they were never full time devs so they worked on it whenever they had free time and also the pandemic was still a thing so that threw a wrench into their plans. Back to PF though I was really hoping it would turn to be good, when I saw the first trailer I was hyped for the most part however I personally wasnt all that thrilled to see blade, just felt like total nostalgia bait and nothing more, was great to hear Eric mills voice again though. Anyways back to PF again, I always wanted a game like PF to come out during this retro fps trend, ever since dusk started this trend I was hoping we could get some half likes or even SiN likes eventually, i was expecting them to start popping up around 2020 to 2021 but nah we were still stuck on these generic quake and doom clones or games that were more like doom eternal rather than the typical shooter that came out in the 90s, but then PF comes out of nowhere and I was super hyped because now were getting half likes that were long overdue but sadly when it finally came out, it turns out to be really average to below average. Boy aint that a kick in head, there was a good game in their but then thanks to 3dr infinite wisdom of starting a bunch of projects all at same time, PF didnt get the time it needed in the oven to be good.

I might get this one only on a giveaway or something, 3DRealms doesn't deserve my hard earned cash.

One of the coolest things about Postal Brain Damaged to me is that they brought the OG VA back to boice the alternate personality. He refers to himself as a demon, which is what hes credited as voicing in postal 1(not fredited as the dude, but a sepetate entity)

Agreed, the initial trailer got me so hyped for this but its a massive let down. It has glimmers of something special but ultimately ends up feeling like it was rushed.

I think the game looks hood haha but the criticisms are legit.

Correction, but very important for context: This is NOT Duke Nukem's 3D Realms. The brand was bought by Interceptor Entertainment (Now Slipgate Ironworks) in 2014 and pretty much turned into their publishing branch. Both 3DR and Slipgate are pretty much the same company, simply working under stolen valor without any of the people that built the name back in the 90s. One of the original co-founders has revived the Apogee brand, the name used before the 3D Realms name took over with Duke Nukem 3D, and they've been doing better. They were initially working with Interceptor as well, but they haven't been involved with them for a few years. They have recently published hits like Turbo Overkill and Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition, so I think that company is where we should keep our eyes on.

hell yeah

I hope this is a hunt down the Freeman story, because with the original hunt down the Freeman, the original devs were actually trying to slowly fix and bring back the game. (I am only talking about the OWF build of the game) maybe if Phantom Fury gets the same treatment, we could see a redemption story

I mean, wrath aeon of ruin is pretty damn good so there's that at least...I guess?

Also, FIRST (like)!
