BOLTGUN

Look! It's the highly anticipated boomer shooter Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, the tale of an angry religious fanatic shooting things with giant space guns! I'd never heard of this game until a couple weeks ago when it came out. I can't believe no one told me about it! Did you guys know?

As hinted at the end of this video (and the pile at the end of the Blake Stone video) HROT should come next unless I play through episode 3 again and can't come up with anything to say. I've been playing the new levels as they release because I was excited to see if the game went into space. (It does not, but it almost does.)

After that, I'm hoping to start work on a new series and if that doesn't immediately pan out, you can look forward to a Soldier of Fortune video because I played through that for the first time in my life and I have thoughts. Many, ludicrously mustachioed thoughts. 

P.S. Anyone who tells me that there's ALSO a shout-out to MAP01 from Doom 2 right before the shout-out to E1M1 is getting paratamized.

Ooh, nice, Two Civvie videos in as many wee-- BOLTGUN!!!!!!

RC

What the heck is a Boltgun?

Dénes Hliva

Also the ROTT remaster is coming very soon, i hope you're going to cover it around launch!

Bea

cool video but i wanted half life alyx :(((

Shykatsu

A gun that basically uses 75 cal RPG rounds as its basic bullets...

John A Gilmour

Probably the least best-kept secret is that BOLTGUN a spin-off/sequel to the 3rd person shooter 40K Space Marine game. I'm guessing to appease the fans until the proper sequel gets released. Great video as usual Civvie.

Kouhstipher

that opening....the existential dread of the masses saying "Whens Pro Boltgun Civvie."

Martin Tepper

Civvie, hey Civvie, there's this new game about shooting bolts in marine space? Did you hear about it?

Valora Inverse

Oh, interesting. That'll be moving it down the priority line a bit for me to "wait for a halfway decent sale" level.

Cronixix

I'm glad it's over.

Rehevkor

David Mitchell would be so happy to be in the thumbnail.

Tore Schweer

You are keeping busy civvie, All those tasty monster energy drinks must be working.

Lawrence Fleming

A genuinely well thought out review. The order I play these games is generally "Before Civvie reviews them" So I went onto Boltgun just after finishing Slayerz. And while Slayerz is less tightly coded and has some jank versus the absolute razor sharp movement and combat of Boltgun, if you were to ask me to pick one specific event in Boltgun that stood out to me I couldn't, it all just blurs into one long never ending corridor of brown/grey gothic architecture. I like to binge these sort of games but Boltgun I'm playing in 2-3 level spurts because after that I just don't want to play any more and want to do something else.

Purge the heretics; praise the Civvie

Erik Olsson (TerrorBlades)

"Its allot like DOOM 2016" THANK YOU, even as a 40k nerd its plain as day. Its so less old Doom or duke and just more Neo-retro Shooter in Doom 2016 design.

TheKindlyOnes

hahahah! Fuck yes! Soldier of Fortune? I love that fucking game! Remember spending forever running around blowing holes through guys with the magnum, popping arms and legs off with the shotgun, and other general graphic horrible violence.

Ilkka Karppinen

So… not really a boomer shooter but more of a budget shooter? Good info - can happily drop this off my list. 👍

Goth Crayon

Soldier of Fortune!?! Ooooh, yes... Another entry for the non-existent "Ridiculously Overpowered Pistol" competition incoming. I absolutely loved that game, especially with that newfangled (at the time) locational damage mechanic. It's amazing what slightly modified Quake 2 engines can do.

Far2noble

oh god not another boom shoot

RTheren

One of my favourite FPS games ever made. I've yet to finish the second one (which has many neat improvements).

Trahbox

Nobody wanted Half Life Alyx

Maktaka

Is this the closest to a game's release you've put out a video since Doom Eternal, barring when you got early access? It feels like you have an unfortunate track record of having to rush your videos on games about "angry men in power armor killing demons".

Macdeth

glad to see i'm not the only one driven mad by the BOLTGUN media blitz

Discord link isn't working for me

civvie11

Discord/Patreon is weird. Try copying and pasting the link into your browser. That’s solved it for me before.

exodddus

ricochet review when

Daakkon

The newest link provided is still not working.

civvie11

I’m not sure then. It seems to be a discord problem because I’ve had people telling me they’re able to use it fine. Try this one: https://discord.gg/C8CudaBD EDIT: Apparently, because it is not a "community server," discord is being extremely shitty about allowing people to join no matter what link they're using, so I'm going to try to fix this.

DVNT

Love the inclusion of the Mitchell and Webb skit! Are we the baddies???

Suckerpunch5000

As a lifelong 40k dork, I couldn't be happier that Civvie is part of the fluff now.

Suckerpunch5000

I didn't know that! I just looked it up, that's really cool!
