64 BITS OF STEEL
Added 2024-02-07 14:41:25 +0000 UTCAnd when we least expected it, The King returned.
Fuck me sideways this video was fun to make. This game goes so fucking hard.
I feel that I'm never really done with Duke. That there's always another adventure for him. He doesn't age! They'll never have to de-age him with CGI! I think they might want to de-emphasize his muscles a little bit. By the 2010's they were starting to look a little weird with the continued progress of graphical fidelity. But are they 64-bits? Most likely, nowadays. In 1999, 64-bits was sorcery, which I assumed about Duke Nukem: Zero Hour being on the Build engine too. Makes no sense to me and I hope the ever-resourceful Duke community ports this over. Imagine opening EDuke and seeing this as a launch option.
glhf,

P.S. Don't buy Graven, like seriously don't do it. There are better ways to spend $25. Have you considered crack cocaine?
P.P.S. For legal reasons, I must clarify that I am not encouraging you to become addicted to crack outside of a Postal game.

2024-02-15 21:53:41 +0000 UTCI can understand the feedback and the sewer count criticism, but in regards to #1, puns are auto-detected due to an implant that was installed in the Wolf ‘09 video
Civvie
2024-02-15 21:51:53 +0000 UTCHey Civvie o/ this is another great Duke video. I have a few complainments, or should i say nitpicks about it tho. 1. AX3 wasn't there saying "Actionable Pun detected" before you got shocked. 2. New Sewer counter is not fun. It sounds and looks sterilized and clean. The previous one, with zombie sounds was funnier, because it was giving the impression of how annoying sewers are to you. So, when you changed it, it's not fun to see you getting tortured by sewers.

2024-02-15 21:34:19 +0000 UTCAm I looking into that "What a shame" too much, or is Deus Ex on the horizon?

2024-02-13 09:54:31 +0000 UTCGood shit! This game is a classic. Also do yourself a big favour, and watch Waterworld.🤌

2024-02-11 11:02:50 +0000 UTCProbably my favorite Duke Nukem of all time!

2024-02-09 13:54:32 +0000 UTCSorry Duke lovers, I'm the sorry bastard that had to click like to take the count from 69 to 70. F'n A Civvie! That intro was just just -chef's kiss- perfect. Baddass work man.
Nachts
2024-02-08 21:16:37 +0000 UTCI spent a couple of hours playing it this morning and had a great time with it. It's not perfect, not is it entirely polished, but I'm not that bothered by a few rough edges. Wrath seems to be making slower progress but I'm excited for it, even if it is a bit punishing at times.
Dave Taylor
2024-02-08 11:41:33 +0000 UTCThe game was shoved out the door way too soon, I fear for Wrath. There are a lot of bugs right now, not least of all a possible save corruption (back up your saves if you play it!). The core problems Civvie mentions are unlikely to be fixed, but despite that I really do enjoy the exploration, the lack of a map didn't bother me at all. I stopped using the sword entirely, the first gem you get for the staff uses mana to yeet enemies into the afterlife. The spells do get better later, like absurdly better. The fire spell ignites enemies (zombies are resistant to it, but they're fodder anyway), and when they die they explode, lighting other enemies on fire as they do. And they run away from you when they burn.

2024-02-08 09:39:52 +0000 UTCOh my God, this was actually the first Duke game I ever played, it's crazy to find out it's secretly *good*
ArkSeaside
2024-02-08 03:17:54 +0000 UTCActually, I think the absolute maximum amount of ass the N64 could render was Adon from Turok 2/3.
Citizen Cain, PhD
2024-02-08 01:46:04 +0000 UTCOMG, this is one of my favorites from the N64! My dog has a pretty nasty cancer diagnosis recently, so this is very well timed! We used to play split screen deathmatch and we called victorian Duke "Mr Ingles" like from "Little House on the Prairie" and had good laughs and great times with this game.

2024-02-08 00:32:06 +0000 UTCIt worked for American McGee’s Alice
JD Scarbrough
2024-02-07 22:42:21 +0000 UTCNot sure if the weird 3D platforming and unusual controls would turn civvie off or the absolutely awesome atmosphere and really clever level design make it his bag. You need to meet Shadowman on its own terms, but it's really rewarding if you do.
Robert K.
2024-02-07 20:25:03 +0000 UTCgraven should be renamed to "unfulfilled promises" here is hoping wrath aeon of ruin is better
Tore Schweer
2024-02-07 20:16:36 +0000 UTCthe art direction is really good though, but so many things that are just.... off, it is annoying. they are patching it, and if you like a souls like shooter, you will definitly maybe tolerate this.
Tore Schweer
2024-02-07 20:13:57 +0000 UTCWell that sucks. I was looking forward to it. It had a lot of potential
Dénes Hliva
2024-02-07 19:58:27 +0000 UTCYou turned Cruelty Squad into a coherent video, i doubt this is going to trip you up forever.
Dénes Hliva
2024-02-07 19:57:44 +0000 UTCOof. Yea, i experienced that. I gave feedback on the game a month before release, which, admittedly is not much time to change anything, but they gave a wishy washy answer and i cant tell if anything is different or not
Dénes Hliva
2024-02-07 19:55:18 +0000 UTCWhats wrong with graven? I bought the early access for like 3$ a month before it released into 1.0 and it was alright, unpolished but fine. I havent had time to play the 1.0 much, whats wrong with it?
Dénes Hliva
2024-02-07 19:52:36 +0000 UTCFinally, Duke video! Graven had such good art direction and designs but the gameplay, weird game mechanics and bugs are just straight up bad....
TempleTurkey
2024-02-07 19:36:02 +0000 UTCIt sure did! I don't know what they think the purpose of early access is.
Civvie
2024-02-07 19:19:01 +0000 UTCThis can't be good for me, but I--- who am I kidding, Duke and Civvie is always a blast
Mateusz Bartoszek
2024-02-07 19:11:21 +0000 UTCI had this game but hardly played it because the controls were so terrible on the gray trident 🔱
Ashley Johnson
2024-02-07 19:10:41 +0000 UTCI’ve playtested Graven for quite a while, and every time they introduced a new weird design choice people would complain and they would not care to engage. I stopped testing when the save system/respawning enemies got introduced. I physically cannot be bothered to play it since then. Very sad because it had a ton of potential really.
Lobstarooo
2024-02-07 18:53:13 +0000 UTCAt 15:13 I can't see anything but black. That water level really sucks to see in.
TonySki
2024-02-07 18:27:24 +0000 UTCShit I bought graven like a year ago
Corey Peoples
2024-02-07 18:02:04 +0000 UTCHey, that one works. Wonderful.
Fullmetal
2024-02-07 18:01:13 +0000 UTCMy dream of a Time to Kill video are further dashed by this admittedly objectively better version of a time travel Duke Nukem game that I hadn't seen before. Doesn't have throwing axes or holy hand grenades though, so I'm still docking points.
QuetzaDrake
2024-02-07 17:14:22 +0000 UTCFuck yes
JOE MOTHERFUCKING TREEFELNER
2024-02-07 17:10:14 +0000 UTCAww, now I can't say me being addicted to crack was Civvie's idea
Steve Downes
2024-02-07 17:05:22 +0000 UTCTotally understandable The game is a trip, Good luck good sir, should you try it
Bavaboi
2024-02-07 16:42:12 +0000 UTCGod I never thought civvie would cover this but I always hoped he would. This game brings back such great childhood memories
doodles
2024-02-07 16:39:12 +0000 UTCCompleted graven…… don’t buy it, it truly is awfully mediocre.
Tore Schweer
2024-02-07 16:31:09 +0000 UTCOh my god, that was absolutely fucking delightful. I had no idea this game was so off the wall like this. I know the big comparison ends up to Daikatana for being first and more infamous, but my mental connection ends up being Timesplitters.

2024-02-07 16:14:49 +0000 UTCI think I'm going to generate another link and put it in. It sometimes decides to not work for people. I don't know why.
Civvie
2024-02-07 16:11:02 +0000 UTCOh yeah I've definitely considered it. I consider it every year around Halloween and rack my brain as to how to translate it into an entertaining video because the game is so fucking strange.
Civvie
2024-02-07 16:10:11 +0000 UTCHey Civvie, you ever thought of doing a Halloween episode on Golden Light? I remember in the Evil Dead video, you enjoyed it a bunch and I barely see anyone after doing a video on it
Bavaboi
2024-02-07 16:08:04 +0000 UTCI still remember my Pentium 75. Loading up DOS. Launching Duke Nukem 3D. The computer needed to be repaired. A family friend lent me his i486 until it was fixed so I could continue to play. Never played the N64 version but, every time I see a Duke video it reminds me of the good old days.
Brandon Smith
2024-02-07 16:07:05 +0000 UTCI remember being 10 years old and renting this from blockbuster. Don't remember much about it, just that I played it. Side note, the discord link doesn't work for me. Keeps saying invalid or expired. And yes, I have tried clicking it, pasting it in my browser, and pasting it directly into discord.
Fullmetal
2024-02-07 16:03:27 +0000 UTCWe only had consoles when I was a kid so this and Time to Kill were my first Duke Nukem games. I didn't even know what Duke 3D was until later on when I had a PC and I randomly found loose discs of it, Nuclear Winter, and even a copy of Blood at a thrift store for like a dollar. The Blood disc turned out to be too far gone but surprisingly Duke worked just fine for a long time.
ZordLedd
2024-02-07 16:03:00 +0000 UTCI absolutely was not ready for that duke quote at the end of the video.
Dumari
2024-02-07 15:58:32 +0000 UTCI didn’t have a PC to play Duke in the day, but this was my game instead. In spite of funky controls of the era, I loved it, so I’m glad you had a fun time going through it!
Axel Hunter
2024-02-07 15:49:03 +0000 UTCI guess your mileage may vary, and I think those issues are greater or lesser depending on play styles too. I do wish there was a map and a fast travel option as there can be a lot of backtracking. It perhaps wasn't totally ready for 1.0 by a lot of people's standards, but I'm not so frustrated by it myself. I think the atmosphere is great and I love the visual design. I do love using the staff with the white crystal to knock enemies flying into walls or each other, or switching to the explosive bolts on the fletchette to disperse a crowd of lower tier monsters, or gib a tougher one.
Dave Taylor
2024-02-07 15:47:06 +0000 UTCZero Hour is surprisingly good at more than a few moments (with some BS). Even as a spinoff N64 game, I'd say it's underrated.
Nitesco
2024-02-07 15:46:12 +0000 UTCVoodoo John Constantine travels across Hell and various other terrible places trying to stop 5 serial killers from making the plot of Army of Darkness happen. Really cool armosphere, good shooting and actually decent platforming for a 3rd person shooter. Worth checking out
JD Scarbrough
2024-02-07 15:42:37 +0000 UTCThis game holds a special place in my heart. Before this one, I only got to play Duke at a friend's house on their PC, as my parents didn't think computers were for games. Then once it launched on the N64, I got it and played it non stop.
David Jacobson
2024-02-07 15:41:47 +0000 UTCI have not played it yet, unfortunately, though I hear good things.
Civvie
2024-02-07 15:32:47 +0000 UTCCivvie you enjoy a good metroidvania, ever play Shadowman? Either the original or the Nightdive version
JD Scarbrough
2024-02-07 15:32:12 +0000 UTCEvery time I try to play it I run into 100 little problems that compound on one another and ruin the experience for me. Baffling design decisions, like having the shooty weapons in your medieval combat game be way better than any of your melee weapons or spells. Keeping encounters that were designed for when the spells worked better in earlier versions. An awful save system. An even more awful stamina system in a game that requires you to run around a lot. Melee combat that encourages you to use parries that are barely useful when enemies still knock off a quarter of your health. Melee combat that encourages you to parry when enemy attacks aren't timed properly to their animations. Awful AI that breaks at least once every encounter. Enemy spawn triggers that would make sense in a linear game and make backtracking a slog when the game requires constant backtracking without a map. The lack of a map. That being said, I haven't finished the game yet, so maybe it gets better?
Civvie
2024-02-07 15:10:03 +0000 UTCLoved this game when I was a kid. Thanks for doing a video on it Civvie
John zelna
2024-02-07 15:04:03 +0000 UTCBeen waiting for this one, and it's 40 minutes long. Great work, Civvie.
Binary Order
2024-02-07 14:57:42 +0000 UTCAs far as I know, Graven has nothing in common with any of those games. I don't think it's unusual for a publisher to promote a game through advertising slots, either.
Dave Taylor
2024-02-07 14:56:41 +0000 UTCGraven has been sponsoring some other shows I watch, like Matt McMuscles. I don't know anything about it myself but I've trained myself to disregard basically every company that does sponsorships. If they have the money they're always terrible somehow (See: world of warships, honkai star rail, raid shadow legends)
Robert K.
2024-02-07 14:55:10 +0000 UTCI don't get all the hate Graven is getting, I'm having a lot of fun with it, and it's running fine? It could be clearer directing the player sometimes, but still not as annoying as Hexen.
Dave Taylor
2024-02-07 14:50:46 +0000 UTCMan I remember playing this Duke game on original hardware way back in the day when I was 10 years old. Game was a ball buster since you could only save between stages, and of course there's the Nintendo 64 controller, but it was still a fun Duke Nukem game
Raul Campos
2024-02-07 14:46:30 +0000 UTCI love the 64-ified "nice model" gag!
