Ghouls? Yes, ghouls, and don't worry, only the first minute or so has rainbow replacing this game's ridiculous gore effects. We'll see what YouTube thinks about it when I try to monetize for the public release. I'm not optimistic but damn this game was fun. I actually hadn't played it and found myself so engrossed that I couldn't pull myself away for the entire six hours it took to beat. Just a solid Raven classic that is kind of weird. If I sound like I'm having an awesome time it's because I am. This game has everything: guns, mustaches, Deus Ex references that I know I'll regret making, discomfort at the two decades long geopolitical shift that happened since release, and did I mention ghouls? Here's hoping it doesn't get too loud.

Lots of happy surprises lately. Great stuff!

RTheren

SoF is a blast, that's for damn sure.

Suckerpunch5000

Another one I haven't played in years but I loved it back in the day. I can't wait to watch this. Thanks Civ! 🤘🤘

LordLudicrous

Hell yeah! Loved soldier of fortune when I played it in college, can’t wait to see what Civvie thinks!

Nic Bergstrom

It is a blessed day. I am a walking corpse of illness and this just me a little light in the dark. God bless you Civvie, keep up the fantastic work. ♥️

Dénes Hliva

You should watch REDLINE, its my go-to when im sick, and you can pretty much just DL the fan-remaster because its all but an abandoned IP at this point. Its gorgeous, its OST rival's that of ROTT or DOOM's in terms of quality, its the best thing ever, and i cannot express how much i love it Edit: If you're reading this, reply when you watched the movie

Tronguy93

This is a series that really needs to come back. …we don’t talk about the third one though.

Nic Bergstrom

Bless you too commenter, I’ll check it out ♥️♥️♥️

Gleb Belyaev

Oh that first game I played as a kid on my dreamcast, the reaction of enemies depending where you shot them at blew my tiny mind. Also by using a knife on dead body made it blow up eventually and would show cuts on different part

ArkSeaside

TIL that game my older cousin kept talking about like 2 decades ago was a Raven joint

NerdyOgre254

With the discussion about no UN and no NATO from Dekker there, it almost feels like slavjank but american. Yankjank?

civvie11

I've heard "amerijank" before, mostly to describe Postal 2, but "yankjank" sounds so much better.

Suckerpunch5000

Are you talking about Redline the anime? If so I love the adventures of Sweet JP and Cherry Boy Hunter.

Valora Inverse

New to me and mechanically it obviously looks cool but oh GOD that's aged like milk. That chapter 8 goof was A+.

Thom Venables-Gordon

One of my defining memories from this era is going to my friend Steve's house and watching him play the demo of this. It's the train level from the start and when the helicopter came along he said "Watch this", zoomed in on the helicopter with the sniper rifle, domed the pilot and watched it crash and explode. I had never seen anything like it.

Beers

At this point I feel that if Halo ever gets a video it would be a love and hate video.

Oven Chips

Absolute banger - my nostalgia prefers SoF2 but watching this through I think I'm dearly wrong

CasualKitty

I played this in my 20s and I really enjoyed it. (I might be older than Civvie.) But then I bought Medal of Honor (1999) and hated FPS' for awhile.

Mystic Metaprogramming

I would have sworn I read what GHOUL stood for in a SoF preview in PC Gamer, but I didn't keep the mag and can't find an archive. I did dig up this amazing technology break down from an old fan site, and I think the GHOUL GORE Zones image at the bottom was also in the PC Gamer article. http://web.archive.org/web/20020602082950/http://sofcenter.com/gameinfo/technology/ In this post-mortem, they claim that the lead engine dev named it Ghoul, as an extension of an earlier system called Spectre. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/programming/postmortem-raven-software-s-i-soldier-of-fortune-i- Anyway, I've been playing SoF2 on GoG and it's amazing. Thanks for the great video Civvie, and the excuse to go digging up old game tech news!

Suckerpunch5000

Oh dude watch that anime. It's a masterpiece 🤌 to use a Civvie-ism it may be an inch deep and a mile wide but it's entertaining as hell. I watch it on the regular.

HolyJunkie

You're not sneaking MyHouse.wad past me, civvie.

Dream0fSkye

so what else is in yankjank?

scubaghost

who else up yankin they jank

Marshall Bradbury

This is awesome, but uh, we ain't getting that HROT vid, are we?

civvie11

I spent two days staring at a screen trying to think of more to say about HROT that could make for a decent video and I came up nearly empty besides some rambling about newts and the final boss.

Mathis Blair

It was SO much fun!!! Getting to watch you play a game that I played as a wee boy. This game was on one of several burned pc games my cool uncle gave us when we got our first PC including (red alert 2, unreal gold, unreal tournament, diablo II, serious sam, and one or two others I cant remember) The absolute gibbage that this game had was utterly shocking. I must admit to slicing up more than my fair share of N.Y. gangsters in the game just because I could. Glad you got to have fun with something new (to you).

Nathaniel Dolynchuk

Is that fucking Sean Connery photo shopped to look like Saddam Hussein?!

Nathaniel Dolynchuk

As per Civvie "That’s the actor playing Saddam Hussein from the movie Hot Shots: Part Deux", which reminds me I will need to watch that.

Goth Crayon

I'm so glad you were able to play this one. Sure, it's kind of easy -but GOD is it a lot of messy, messy fun. A few hours well spent, just killing d00ds in awful and colorful ways with seriously boomy guns.

TonySki

At 14:53, what is the word that's being sung? I can't understand it.

TonySki

I thought we were gonna get one when Halo Infinite launched to get on that SEO for Halo at the time.

Dream0fSkye

Even worse than milk, mayo.

Tore Schweer

aahh an airplane reference, culture.

Anksik

I'm getting really fucking tired of youtube's bullshit. It's blood in a video game for fuck sake.

Heavy Metal Stepdad

You better be doing SoF II. No idea how my parents let me get that when it came out. Where I learned human anatomy as a teenager. Entrails, entrails every where. If I remember correctly, it is severely lacking in mustache which could be a turn off for some but the tight jeans and leather jacket scale is off the charts; so about even I'd wager. Have fun with the Colombia levels - pretty sure they are like the tenth circle of hell. \m/ EDIT: Alright I got SoF II on GOG. Finished first level. I can report that it does in fact get very mustache-y while simultaneously maintaining the same level of tight jeans / leather jacket.

JD Scarbrough

Any love for Pandemic Studios Mercenaries 1 +2 in this forum of learned gentleman?

Suckerpunch5000

I don't think I ever played 2 but I remember really enjoying the first one.

Suckerpunch5000

Big Gun! Fittingly the video has Arnie in it being ridiculous. It was on the Last Action Hero soundtrack.

Ilya Popov

Civvie - would you say that this is the most heavily modded Quake 2 engine game other than Anachronox?

Lakstoties

The ghoul system may have started in Soldier of Fortune, but it went to 11 in Soldier of Fortune 2. You can get dual Uzis in that game. You can literally and systematically grind down the upper body of a person, until they are just a bloody, ragged stump with legs. Then, they finally fall down. Shotgun blasts to the gut have the chance that the last moments of an enemies' life will be cradling their intestines. You start to feel bad for the enemies with the Geneva Convention violating deaths you cause in that game. It was wild back then.

Andrew J

Played this back when I was in my teens and GENUINELY thought it was on the Quake 3 engine, until today!

Silentphil9

Sir, we'd like to have this flower.....

Paskudne

third one is definitely junk but its fun if you have low expectation. it also had pretty sick weapon selection

Paskudne

Im pretty sure this is your happiest video, even bit uncanny. Facility provided more effective pills?

JerkingTheGerk

I bought this in the middle of the video. Shit looks too good to not play.

Para-voyeur

This video was too good!

Eisenhans

saw you got age restricted. became a patreon now. fuck youtube

Argon Productions

Thank you Civvie! I've been busy as you know, sorry for the late message. Did you get the Romero book yet? I'm on chapter five and it is very good.

civvie11

Yeah I did. Still making my way through it.
