SINGULARITY - THE LAST RAVEN
Added 2019-09-03 18:17:02 +0000 UTCBeen planning to make this video for months and finally, FINALLY, got around to it. It's a pseudo sequel to the Heretic II video because before doing that one, I'd never played Singularity. Flew right under my radar. What's that? A game that, considering all the money that burned to make it AND the rushed finish, still came out pretty good? I can't describe the bitter taste in my mouth when I typed "The Last Raven," god damn it Activision, #FREERAVEN.
And here's the usual stuff:

If you'd like to have a different name in the credits than what you pledged with, leave me a comment, or DM me on here or Twitter or discord or whatever. If your name is wrong, not included, or anything else, shoot me a message calling me an asshole and telling me to fix it. Or if you want one of those fancy colored names that everyone gets now if they want. The patron list is usually a couple days behind the video.

Love it. This game deserves more love than it got, and I'm glad to see it's getting a reappraisal in hindsight. Changed my handle from FreonTrip to Messkatonic; I'd like to keep the cyan color in the credits. Thanks a million, Civvie!
2019-09-10 15:21:37 +0000 UTCNice one, love seeing your work evolve with every video. Gotta say, Raven's game design was a little too off for the time, like a pretty OK game coming out in 2002. By being a rushed project, i could only imagine what was left out.

2019-09-04 09:34:54 +0000 UTCso idk how tight postage customs are in the game-review gulags, but would they let you accept an onahole as thanks for making this?

2019-09-04 04:39:51 +0000 UTCI actually played this game back when it came out on PS3 and have fond enough memories of it. Your video kinda reinforced that so I guess I aughta pick it up on Steam and give it a proper go again.

2019-09-04 01:57:25 +0000 UTCI was just thinking, "Man, I could sure go for another Civvie video"

2019-09-04 01:03:34 +0000 UTCFun thing about the ending is you can choose to shoot either guy OR both if you so desire and get a different ending for each decision
2019-09-03 23:13:10 +0000 UTCSo much potential.

2019-09-03 22:51:49 +0000 UTCDamn the Bioshock vibes here are strong...It looks a bit rough, and is highly derivative, but in the good way instead of the Ubisoft way. Would have been great to see what this game could have been with a better development cycle.

2019-09-03 22:50:31 +0000 UTCGreat use of the Police Squad/Naked Gun theme, I laughed so hard when I realized what was happening.

2019-09-03 20:37:41 +0000 UTCI like how you played painkiller on his face
2019-09-03 20:03:11 +0000 UTCFinally a new video, i was beginning to go into withdrawals.

2019-09-03 19:52:58 +0000 UTCThis is one of those games I see on steam or my local CEX and pass on each time... No more. Adding to library!

2019-09-03 18:57:53 +0000 UTCNot enough people really know about the game. It's the only game I can think of that had a rough development and still came out mostly fine.

2019-09-03 18:41:39 +0000 UTCMy only complaint for this game was lack of subtitles. Same for Quake 4. I dunno, imagine being deaf person or non native english speaker, what a joke from Raven.

2019-09-03 18:32:14 +0000 UTCOh holy crap, someone other than me loves this game? That makes two of us against the world! Seriously, this game is so underrated. Really fun gunplay and weapons and powers. And an actual plot twist I didn't see coming? *chef kiss*
