I used to love to play Blood...
When he walked past a mirror he'd get spooked; "oh... It's just me."
And sometimes a bunch of little mini guys would come flooding out the mirror to freak you out haha
munkycheez reference to Evil Dead
@@mvnkycheez I was really sad when they cut major parts of that scene from Army of Darkness with the re-release.
@@NecrochildK What? when? I remember running into them in Post Mortem
@@adiveler They still have the scene, but they cut out about half of it in bits. It's a bit annoying because half of it is the hits he takes from them, explaining his bruises and like his burned face, etc. I dunno, maybe they put it back in more recent releases. This was about late 90s.
Pro tip: the hit-scanner enemies have a harder time hitting you if you’re crouched
and jumping
almost_ friday that part I didn’t know, thanks
Something I've always loved about blood, is that Caleb does not move like a man.
He moves like a bouncy ball with guns taped to it.
@@drakep.5857 accurate
dynamite.
"One struggles to breath when the atmosphere is 40% lead% had me laughing so hard
I love this. I'm not English native, I appreciate it even more.
My favorite line from the game is the first:
"I live... again!"
WOA-oh. It's just me.
AH AH AH IT BURNS!!
That's a line from Army of Darkness: Medievil Dead! Probably a nod to Duke Nukem which also quoted the Evil Dead films. Nice touch!
Not for long.
-Civvie
There were so many Evil Dead and Army of Darkness bits in it that in it’s day I remember people considered it an unofficial Evil Dead video game
If "angrying yourself back to life" was a thing, Yahtzee would be an immortal god.
You think he survived E3?
pretty sure that is the whole life memoirs of doom guy.
@@SupremeRuleroftheWorld "Man literally too angry to die."
Which may explain why Fox News’ audience is mainly the elderly.
Brainstormer623 Darth Maul did it too
Caleb makes the game twice as good. Sure, hes basically just a less crude, demonic Duke Nukem. But his voice actor, Stephen Weyte, really nails everything perfectly.
"And everyone drives like they learned on a pair of roller skates."
Maaaan. That's incredibly accurate. I don't know how Yahtzee does it.
It really is so accurate,
He's always had the talent for being so funny and accurate
@@michaelwesten4624 Just being educated doesn't really give you the talent of coming up with clever and accurate metaphors. It takes a bit of wit and "creative thinking" (close to nonsense word, I know, but for lack of better expression).
@@viljamtheninja but it allows you to make more colorful remarks. But you are right, you also need to have the wit to use it
And hes been doing this for 10 fucking years! Almost every fucking week!
Caleb’s laugh when you kill a bunch of enemies is satisfying.
Gotta say. Of all the things that Blood did, easily the coolest part of it is Stephen Weyte's raspy, maniacally voice acting that delivers the sarcastic, quippy lines so perfectly on point.
0:44 "Transfusion" was already taken by a mod team who tried to recreate Blood in the Quake 1 engine. Specifically, the Dark Places version of the Quake engine. The mod's still incomplete, but I still associate the title Transfusion with that mod, that subtitling the Blood remaster Transfusion wouldn't feel right. Fresh Supply works just fine as a subtitle.
@Starscream91
Why not? Shouldn't their free efforts be respected enough to not hijack the title? There's no legal obligation, obviously, but it's a courtesy.
So I was remembering correctly: it was the Quake engine.
Also, one thing Yathzee forgot: the previous commercial version sold by GOG that also included the two official add-on episodes was called "One Unit Whole Blood" (like the label on blood packs meant for transfusion).
Ironically the games with the cardboard cutouts for enemies and like 5 bit for the sound had better emotions for their enemies than any Dayvid Cayge had for their protagonists.
Not really, its harder to simulate muscles and crap and thats the sort of thing cage would throw all the money at.
Subtlety can be overrated when you've only got so much room to work with.
Shaaaaaaaun
But they have no polygons!
Feels strange to see a Blood video uploaded by someone who isn't Civvie11.
Alex Ragle
Thanks, RANDY
I watched this before finding civvie's channel and now as a new enlightened fan I return
Jesus it is.
Gmanlives
Oh fuck a Civvie fan this must be christmas, in November. Ah they started already so it counts.
They're polar opposites. Both are hilariously cynical and witty in their descriptions like Civvie saying an ancient tomb is so ancient it's still full of fucking cultists.
A quote so great they actually quoted it in an achievement minus the swearing.
But Yahtzee didn't find it very good while Civvie calls it: The holy oh the holy trinity, hallow be it's name.
And he's right.
It's a great shooter, if you're GOOD.
The problem with modern hitscanning enemies is that they peek around corners from 50 meters away with high accurate assault rifles with camouflage and a small hit box.
Meanwhile cultists are colorful big juicy hitboxes in open environments who can't hit for shit beyond a stroll to the kitchen.
Plus you can actually GET to them and survive by shooting them once. In modern games if you try to move an inch closer you get decorated with bullets that still have the casing on it.
Old games let you have a chance close up if you remember that you're not locked to a fat man's speed and stamina but rather you're a bouncing athletic race car with homing auto targeting bullets.
Have he ever seen a speedrun? They move so fast the enemy can't even scream before they're gone at the exit.
This was one of my all-time favorite games from the 90's. The "blood shower" effects were epic, and I enjoyed that the manual had translations for all the crazy stuff the enemies shout at you.
I still find it funny that the cultists shout at you in that cultic speak, but still scream "IT BURNS IT BURNS!!!" when lit on fire.
When I was in high school I actually went on a tour of Monolith while they were developing this game. I've never been into FPS but I remember seeing that one of the weapons was a voodoo doll that you would stab to attack distant enemies and I've always thought that was clever and awesome.
Yeah, that’s right. It was a good innovation!
"...will acquire holes faster than a argument for holistic medicine under any amount of scrutiny"
Genius
Meanwhile.. I'm curing my IBS and HS using 'holistic' medicine, and I haven't had a cold in over 5 years. Silly journalists.
It's usually a good idea when you put something in quotation marks that you quote the sentence accurately.
P. Cox Aw nerts. Throw it all away, everyone, all the data from the clinical trials and books on the placebo effect and confirmation bias. Some internet rando says we’re wrong. (Sigh) It was good while it lasted.
@@jasonn6306
Well if it was called medicine, the medical industry looses out and the billions it makes, being that synthetic drugs with dangerous side effects won't be preferred over God-made products straight from the ground.
@Skogarr Where did he say he treated the specific ailment he mentioned with essential oils and humming to bees?
"He is very morally un-bland. He just wants everyone to die.
And you lot made me go to E3, so who are you to judge?"
I mean, he isn't wrong.
I, too, watched the video.
Nealon Miller hey we didn’t make him go the first time, we certainly will the second time though 😊😂
I dunno. I always found Drake to be a bland character the same way I'd consider Indiana Jones, Arthur Morgan, Mario, Luke Skywalker, Son Goku or Kratos bland characters. That is to say, I instantly fell in love with these characters for what they did rather than WHY they did it, and being much younger I concluded a character doesn't need a personality to be loved as long as they do awesome stuff, and years of past generations loving thes characters so much had pretty much buried most of the legitimate criticism one could have about their personalities (or lack there of) and today it takes nitpicky ass-hats like Yahtzee to make us realize that maybe these characters change their motives and intentions on a dime so that the game and/or movie can have conflicts in them
Fact: Blood is older that most of Yahtzee viewers.
@Chris Moos Yea....I know, sorry. I kinda had the urge to be a bad person when I was writting that comment :/
Hey! I’ll have you know I’m older then Blood...by a little bit.
I some how doubt that. Kids are too busy these days playing Fortnite. They wouldn't even know most of the stuff Yahtzee reviews.
nope, the 90's was just 10 years ago. i refuse to accept anything else.
I'm actually 5 days older than it so suck it
Doom: "We have monstrous demons from hell"
Blood: "We have Henry Kissinger"
Doom: "Ok Monolith, you win"
Blood is better
One of the best games ever made in my eyes
*Blood! Blood!*
*Gallons of the stuff!*
*Give them all that they can drink,*
*And it will never be enough!*
*So give them blood, blood, BLOOD!*
*Grab a glass because*
*there's going to be a flood!*
MCR forever
You have to love an obscure MCR reference.
One of my favourite bonus tracks of all time
What ZP episode was that used in?
@@tommyscott8511 Clive Barker's Jericho, I believe.
this is why we have game journalists, and gamers. its supposed to test you to your absolute limit.
PRO BLOOD When Civv...
Whoops wrong channel.
IUnderstoodThatReference.png
Victor Kruger Yahtzee *does* actually watch Civvie
@@commisso3806
He does? Wow.
@@wahlex841 Yeah, mentioned it on stream a few times. I think he's one of the channels he's subscribed to on his yahtzee19 account.
@@commisso3806 Wait, really? I must've missed it, what video does he mention him in?
Okay Yahtzee, I'll just ignore that Bloodstained steam list
He was tired and picked the wrong game whose name started with blood, what more do you want?
@Corey Stokely thats because i literally only give a shit about Zero Punctuation
@Corey Stokely Pretty much and the only thing escapist ever did for me was help me discover zp and jimquision.
The day Yahtzee reviews Roller Coaster Tycoon
Marks the day I sold my soul for a cupcake.
What happens if he uploads it in 23:00, and you only see it in 8 am the next day?
Ohhh, what kind of cupcake?
"So, you like cupcakes, eh? Well, then have all the cupcakes...in the world!!" XD
Marik Zilberman Not sure what that’s supposed to mean.
@@Mernom your comment makes absolutely no sense! Hahaha
More Victims for the ever growing army of the undead!
I always enjoy forgetting these drop on Wednesday and go on RUclips for a podcast and see this
As old as this game is it's more fun than most modern games. I've been going in circles playing the same bunch of games and this is the most fun I've had since Doom 2016. I knew because I had been playing it for hours when I died and realized this is one of those games you have to save every couple steps, and that I hadn't had a smoke since I started playing. Trying to beat it right now on extra crispy and I feel like I'm a couple deaths away from a rage induced stroke.
Blood is a symptom of its period.
Must be that time of the month...
Tip: play with panties on
blood holds up today
:)
Not bad, not bad
Blood is one of the GOATs, damn kids these days don't get the sheer glory of it in its heyday
At this point, I feel like not even death can stop Yahtzee from keeping up his monolithic, frightening, record-breaking, unwavering upload schedule.
I loved the amputated hands that would bounce off the floor and choke you while (somehow) yelling _"Just what are you doing?!"_
I always thought they were saying, "It's Monica Seles."
@@chriskallen1 i thought they said "i'll swallow your soul!"
@@computerpastiche They do say "I'll swallow your soul". It's one of the many Evil Dead references.
Yoshikage Kira: *scaroused screaming*
Watch Civvie11’s Pro Blood series. He gives a lot of tips for playing on harder difficulties. There’s a little thing called crouching that helps mitigate the hit scanners. Also, you’re not supposed to play the game carefully on higher difficulties. You’re supposed to throw copious amounts of dynamite and move like you’re an action star on uppers.
The MCR ref at the end was very much appreciated.
My reaction to the end credits: (insert Captain America "I understood that reference" image here)
He used the same song as outro music too for his Clive Barker's Jericho review back in the old days.
never thought i'd see yahtzee talk about blood, its like i fell into a weird alternate dimension where things are just unexpectedly better.
"One struggles to breath in an atmosphere of almost 40% lead "
DATZ LOTTA DAKKA BOIZ
"It was a retrospective device, you fuck!"
God bless you Yahtzee.
Loved Blood back in the day. Remember being in like Grade 1 and my friend's dad showing it to us on his computer. One of, if not the first M-Rated game I ever played! Nice to see it get some attention.
Gotta agree on that person-thrashing-about-on-fire sprite, though that in Fallout (1 & 2) comes pretty damn close.
Still my #1 favorite game of all time.
5:20 oh come on Yahtz, full 3D wasn't Blood 2's main problem. It was the randomized damage that meant no weapon was reliably effective.
All of its issues can be traced to that it was pushed out by the publisher before it was done.
Thank you, THANK YOU so much for bringing the end credits text back!
Contrary to what Yahtzee says, Blood’s later episodes are great, and feature some of my favorite levels. E2M4, The Overlooked Hotel, is phenomenal from a design perspective.
I would love him to go back and look at Dusk again, he covered the early access but it's really become one of the best modern retro style shooters.
"It's hard to breathe in an atmosphere of 40% lead."
"You're under oinkrest!"
Man Yahtzee had a busy month, with e3 his zp reviews and that game he was working on
And a documentary being made about him
I guarantee that as soon as the devs saw this, they said "Dammit! Blood: Transfusion, that's so good! Why didn't we think of that?"
I believe blood transfusion was the name of a fan made source port
Yeah it was the first real port of Blood. Ported to Quake engine. Very known amongst us Bloodites.
I thought that was used already, as is plasma pack.
I don't think so, Fresh Supply seems like a more fitting subtitle in this game's context because it IS supposed to sound like a bulk of newly baked sandwiches.
I mean, Caleb straight up EATS PEOPLE'S HEARTS to regain health, for crying out loud.
I loved the blood games and Caleb was just an amazing joy to play as. Sure, there's not a whole lot of depth but it's just damn good fun and Caleb's entertaining. Even the blurbs written between levels on the loading screen on Blood II can be pretty damn awesome.
One tip for dealing with hitscanners: CROUCH. It's way harder for them to hit you, their accuracy goes down the gutter.
Was this tip helpful? You can thank Civvie 11.
Why would that help? Wouldn’t they have to be deliberately programmed to be less accurate for that to work?
As far as I know, hitscan weapons are popular because the math is so simple. It’s just “is there a viable path from muzzle to hitbox” attenuated by a hardcoded miss chance. I don’t think hitscan weapons necessarily take size of hitbox into account when computing miss chance.
Free Civvie!
@@greenredblue Blood did. It is basically "if hitscan target is crouching, hitchance/2".
Guy Boo dude try it in blood it works
Dinner-fork tongue free civve!!!
Finally a notification from Escapist that I actually want to look at. Getting tired of this movie stuff, if only there was a way to subscribe to a single part of a channel.
Lol I swear to god every Wednesday I watch the new review after work, then end up binging like 30 more videos
Blood and Shadow Warrior were my favorite 90's shooter, and blood 2 was my guilty pleasure... I played that game way too much. and I played all of them when I was way too young. good times.
Blood might be the apex of Build FPS titles but Shadow Warrior will forever be my favorite, stereotype humor be damned.
"Maranax Inf-"
*Shotgun Blast*
AAAAAAGH!!
"Crodux Cruo!"
*Flare Gun Sound*
"Maranax Pal-"
*frrp*
...
WHAAH!!
With that, I have described around 50% of this Games' Sound Design when I'm playing. :D
DE VA NO SMODAR MODA!
Yes it's more than 20 years later and I remember lines the enemies yelled at you from this game. It's a goddamned masterpiece. Then again, I did it my way. We're all fresh victims for the ever-growing armies of the undead.
My favorite characters are the ones who angry themselves back to life
That closing metaphor was pure gold.
Can't wait to see your coverage of E3 2020. Take note, Escapist think tank, we all love watching Yahtzee at E3.......suffering.
Can you put him in a dodgy motel next year and film it as a reality TV show? :D
Yahtzee is, without a doubt in my mind, one of the most sustainably high-quality and reliable content creators there's ever been. Zero Punctuation is kind of incredible when I think about how many episodes Yahtzee has made since the show's beginning. And now, despite Yahtzee also making games, documenting the process thereof, covering E3 in person, and probably doing regular IRL stuff too, he still released Zero Punctuation on time, and the episode is great. Yahtzee's work ethic is something I can scarcely comprehend. Side note: Yahtzee's novels are pretty darn good. In particular, I recommend "Will Save the Galaxy for Food" -- and even more in particular, I recommend the official audiobook, which is read by Yahtzee himself. He's a true performer, on top of reliably making tons of great content all the time.
little know fact: in russian chernobog means dark god.
0:34 Why is bloodstained ritual of the night scribbled over. It's a good game from what I've heard.
His Bloodstained review is online on the Escapist website. He agrees with what you've heard.
Every sentence is gold, this one is really making me chuckle.
I like that classic, bloody, shooters are still a lot of fun because they get to the point and make you feel like a malevolent god of death and rage.
I like the on fire dude sprite too, small things count man
damn, yahtzee is in top form here! i havent had to skip backwards to catch stuff i missed on a ZP video quite so often in a while!
I feel like yahtzees life has become a lot more difficult after this Escapist shake up. He's just been drifting gently doing ZP but now he's forced to make other content
What happened?
@@offender0 It escaped.
@@RichGwilliam As did Smosh, yeah they were both owned(imprisoned?) by the same monstrosity.
Neptune Productions, don’t know what you’re talking about. He was never aimless, always maintained direction like almost none other in the craft, and he’s done much - books, games, etc.
@@Megalomaniakaal Smosh weren't ever with the Escapist?
One of the best videos in a while, nice one!
"Blood huah fresh supply"
There fixed it for you
Remember: Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a night; set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
"drops faster than your Mum's knickers at a soup kitchen"
Oh my.
That is GOLD.
Can I borrow that please, @Yahtzee?
Just be careful who you say it to; some people will probably kill you (literally, not figuratively) over such an insult.
Not to say that the MP in Fresh Supply is still half broken.
its a mess
And on top of that, the patch releases are going to be slow from here on out since Night Dive sent Kaiser back to work on other titles (hopefully Powerslave EX is one of them).
@@Corpseplower Powerslave EX was perfectly functional years ago. Well, apparently the mouse input doesn't work anymore under Win10, but that's it.
I know but the possibility of Night Dive getting to release it as a commercial product with "sorta" continued support is something that would be nice.
I just want a modern port of the Build engine version
Get your Blood while it's Fresh 😁👌
This is basically a review of a game from 1997. He actually did it. An absolute mad lad.
"Hit-scan Safari" would be a great name for a chiptune album.
Pro Blood When, Civvie?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
already out
@@juanokug4 1, year ago.
2, I know. It's a meme
I find it somewhat bizarre, unlike most all other channels, Escapist puts up their new ZP videos like a week sooner on Facebook than they do on RUclips. And by the time it comes out on RUclips, I have forgotten I've already seen it.
But hey! That just means new ZP on FB soon.
Presumably Facebook just links to the video hosted on their own site; most sites do that to drive traffic to them
The thing I remember most about blood is the cultist's death scream, and the phantazims... the goddamn phantazims......
Don't mind me I'm just waiting for a review of The Sinking City
I remember playing Blood when I was a kid.
I'm really glad I did, but I never knew that's why those cultists were so hard.
There are two kinds of Blood players; the kind who complains about hit-scanners and the kind who learned to use dynamite.
Unless you're playing on Extra Crispy, in which case lol get fucked
@@dannyboi5887 wouldn't have it any other way.
Strangers in the night...exchanging glances...
I can not listen to Sinatra without thinking of this game
I have been to LA and I dont think you give it enough credit. Its like the 7-11 bathroom multiplied to a city level. An LA 7-11 so its more hypodermic needles and feces than actual bathroom.
thumbs up for the Chauvet par can image at the end
I beat Blood on the "Well Done" difficulty last year. No regrets.
now try extra crispy
Please do it. Then upload it to RUclips for proof
@@atomicpunch1990 If I ever beat it pn Extra Crispy, I will :)
"Transfusion" is the name of another fan made blood based project. Naming it this would have caught the studio a lot of flak for trying to confuse the two.
Sucking things from bats is a very different analogy these days.
*CRUDUX CRUO!*
I actually miss the Blood games. Good one liners with plenty of horror movie easter eggs.
The moment I saw the title, I just knew he was gonna like the game. Anyone else?
Well, Blood is one of the best first person shooters ever made
@@notfreeman6809 Yup, pretty much.
Also, the hardest difficulty in this game was made for Co-Op in mind.
if you like FPS genre for shooting mechanics, it's gonna be your new corner stone
As someone who lives in LA, I can confirm Yahtzee’s description is 100% accurate.
I swear, the scripts of these videos are poetry.
Playing this on multiplayer was a right laugh. Haxen mixed with Duke 3d and the ability to use you're enemies head as a football. Perfect 90s fun.
End screen jokes are back!
Are you sure you were California? Because you pretty much described the Phoenix, Arizona Valley.
I marvel at your time management skills
The random rants are always the best ones.
Love these videos! I think Yahtzee would do awesome movie reviews as well...
Thank You for your brave and perplexing sacrifice Mr. Yahtzee.
Where those post credit sequences always there or dod Yahtzee bring em back?
Excellent backhand to alternative medicine- aka not medicine
"Plodding Snorefare", holy shit
