Finally got around to picking up the game myself. Its a hell of an exprience I wish Id see more of but considering it only has 2 of 5 episodes out and hasnt been updated in nearly 4 years. I can only hope someone pulls an indie blessing and brings this gem back from the depth of obscurity it fell into.
@@friktogurg9242 It really does. But sometimes things like this happen. Plenty of indie games that had a lot of heart put into them but never had a proper followup. Doesn't mean we cant appreciate what there is.
I've been eyeing this game for a while, but never bought it due to only having the first 2 episodes released. I fucking hate the episodic model, just release the whole goddamn game in one package.
#SomeBulletsMatterMoreThanOthers Because in a life or death situation, I'll take Callahan's .44 over the .22 I used to shoot soda cans with any day of the week.
This kills me that it was cancelled half way through. I won’t get over this. Shitty games get sequel after sequel, and this diamond in the rough, gets canned half way through?! That’s the danger of episodic games, I guess...
When he is on he is really funny but when he did a video apologizing for off color jokes he made in his FF8 review (among others) he lost a little something.
Wouldn't it be fair to say that the Spoony Experiment is more or less over? I know he still makes videos and streams occasionally, but with the current pace of release it feels more like him being a critic is relegated to being a hobby.
I'm a little late to the party on this one. But if it's still available I want to check it out. Huge fan of noir. Are you still going to do any more movie synopsis and classic noir movies?
As time speedz up you just get faster w finesse love this love the mythos, hey raze hear ya had a dust storm in phoenix hope all is well,with the people there.wondered whether you saw the holographic dio at the wicken festival kind freakishly cool.Also you must have had a good English teacher.You rock,god fucking SPEED.
"So light up a Camel, knock back some bourbon, and bone down with some blues and bullets." I'm two thirds of the way the way there already, but no problem, Mr. Fist. I'll happily bone down with some Blues and Bullets. Consider it purchased. God FUCKING speed!
Was wondering when you would get to this since you have a love for the noir, still I have played both 2 episodes so far and I have no idea if this will continue or not
GrantH Definitely. Probably one of his best too, but never gets any love. Pretty much never plays a single song from that album at any concert these day despite being perfection^2.
From what I've heard, he plays Freedom once in a blue moon, but that's about it. A lot of his more underrated albums go unrepresented in the setlist sadly.
I worked at a game dev studio. I made and they still make HO games. The thing is we killed it, with our games for grannies and now was the time for us to make a stand alone game as a studio. A noir detective HOG, no limits, all teams make a episode for the game. 3 months of failure, backtracking and unpaid overtime crowned with a mediocre granny HoG that is a little grimy. DAmn those feedbacks, and the impotence of our chiefs.
Great review, Razor. I've been mulling over whether I should purchase this game. Much like your Motorhead overview, you've sold me. Only one nitpick - I do not consider L.A Confidential to be noir. Happy to discuss. Otherwise, LOVED this video. Thanks, Razor.
I was just watching your interview with Graham Bonnet when this popped up. Whatever happened to that Metal Mythos project you were working on with him?
Clive Barkers Jericho is a great game not even close to what people say it is they are all fools. Its a fun game with a character that suits everyone's style of playing a fps, the powers are fun to use, yes the game is linear, but linearity doesnt mean a game is bad, its more fun and engaging than most fpses out there.
Razör, have you ever heard of the Swedish metal bans called Sportlov? I'ts a parody of black/death metal, but you would unfortunately have to translate the lyrics, however it would be worth it because of how clever and funny they are written. Only a 6 track EP and one studio album, and a brand new reuion EP though so i highly recommend it a listen
Razor... how could you review this game in august and not even mention the tiny fact that the devs abandoned the game after episode 2 (out of 5) even though they have been selling a "complete season" version. They closed the website and apparently closed shop. The episodes end on cliff hangers and the game will not be finished. That feels kinda relevant.
***** Yeah but a tweet in september saying "it's all good" aside the last official update message on steam was may 11. Where they promised news of epi 3 within weeks. I dunno if that makes the rumor of their demise exactly a lie. Also... it's not 5 bucks for a game it's 5 bucks for the first episode of a game that isn't finished and by the looks of it might not be, ever.
"BLUES provided by Modern Gamers." "BULLETS provided by ERIC HOLDER" If they combined IQ and Wit into one empirically measured score, I'm confident that we will have made Razor the Emperor of Earth by next Thursday.
I know that black and white aesthetics are the calling card of the film noir genre, but is there a specific name for only including a specific color like red into the mix? Or is that just another typical artistic feature of the same genre.
Can't say that I'd like this game. The issue with the investigation mechanics I personally find game breaking. I'll wait for the rest of the games episodes to be released and I'll at least give it a chance. Till then, I now for some reason have a huge nostalgia woody to play games like "Darkseed" and "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis" and other point and clicks again. Regardless of my opinion on the game in question though. Keep the good work. The video was entertaining as always.
Can't wait. Star Citizen should prove to be extremely entertaining. ...provided you don't actually pay any money for it and watch the shitshow from the sidelines.
Basically every review comes down to a format akin to this, ideally discussing the game's ups and downs in approximately equal measure unless it's an absolute shitshow.

Never heard of this game man, looks really interesting.
Nice to see at least some developers took the time to learn from the things Alpha Protocol did right.
Too bad the rest aren’t ever seeing the light of day :(
I've been eyeing this game for a while, but never bought it due to only having the first 2 episodes released. I fucking hate the episodic model, just release the whole goddamn game in one package.
Considering the budget and time that'd take, I don't think it'd be possible to finish it.

That's a long time in terms of gaming history, more like a plateau than a pinnacle.
Oh go to hell.
"Geralt of Lunesta" ...I love you, Mr. Rageholic.
youtube needs more youtubers like you Razor, keep up the good work. godspeed!
Thank you for showing me this game. Just finished the first episode and I'm loving it.
Thanks again razor, as always you have amazing taste in music,movies and games
And, that's another game going on my Must Play list right there! Thank you once again Razor! \m/ ^^
Will definitely have to check this game out when I get the chance. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, Razorfist!
We need something like this, but for The Shadow.
This kills me that it was cancelled half way through. I won’t get over this. Shitty games get sequel after sequel, and this diamond in the rough, gets canned half way through?! That’s the danger of episodic games, I guess...
You know I've been waiting for a good Noir game since LA Noir thanks Razor I'm going to be getting this game a look when I get paid next week
Great video shitlord! I miss old Spoony btw.
I like both iterations of Spoony. Just wish he made more videos, honestly.
The great truism of our age. Haha.
that dude is pos
When he is on he is really funny but when he did a video apologizing for off color jokes he made in his FF8 review (among others) he lost a little something.
Wouldn't it be fair to say that the Spoony Experiment is more or less over? I know he still makes videos and streams occasionally, but with the current pace of release it feels more like him being a critic is relegated to being a hobby.
Getting this. Film Noir is my second favorite genre of film behind Sci-Fi. And when you put them together (Blade Runner) my brain orgasms lol
I'm a little late to the party on this one. But if it's still available I want to check it out. Huge fan of noir. Are you still going to do any more movie synopsis and classic noir movies?
I've never heard of this game, but it looks fascinating. Cheers, Razor
Never heard of this, thanks for the hook up Razorfist :)
how many snuff videos does Terran Gell have on his hard drive?
Every last one and counting.
Well, I hear he has actual footage of Lincoln's assassination.
As time speedz up you just get faster w finesse love this love the mythos, hey raze hear ya had a dust storm in phoenix hope all is well,with the people there.wondered whether you saw the holographic dio at the wicken festival kind freakishly cool.Also you must have had a good English teacher.You rock,god fucking SPEED.

Thanks for the infor.....still gotta get myself a joystick and a copy of X-Wing, but I'll remember this.
Rounding of with Coltrane, nice touch :)
When is the next metal/music mythos? The trail of breadcrumbs that is the youtube related list can only take you so far.
hahaha nice use of alice cooper on the intro - that worked really well! what a song/album.
How am I just hearing of this?
Was wondering when you would get to this since you have a love for the noir, still I have played both 2 episodes so far and I have no idea if this will continue or not
Shit, haven't listened to raise your fist and yell in a minute lmao. Amazing ass album.
That's probably Alice's most underrated album imo
GrantH Definitely. Probably one of his best too, but never gets any love. Pretty much never plays a single song from that album at any concert these day despite being perfection^2.
From what I've heard, he plays Freedom once in a blue moon, but that's about it. A lot of his more underrated albums go unrepresented in the setlist sadly.
I'd love to see a top noir film list video. I just got "In A Lonely Place" and its pretty good.
Hey Razor, would you consider doing a video on The Big Lebowski, since it's a riff on Raymond Chandler and Dashiel Hammet.
LOL That punch in the beginning had me dying because of how bad it was XD
the silver case is coming this auttum. I hope it delivers
“Like insincerity on Angry Joe.”
Holy fuck. 🤣
You want to do a Witcher 3 review you know you want to give in... GIVE IN

Well I now know what Im buying next.
I would love to see you do videos on the dawn of war series in preparation for dawn of war 3
Great review, Razor. I've been mulling over whether I should purchase this game. Much like your Motorhead overview, you've sold me. Only one nitpick - I do not consider L.A Confidential to be noir. Happy to discuss. Otherwise, LOVED this video. Thanks, Razor.
I was just watching your interview with Graham Bonnet when this popped up. Whatever happened to that Metal Mythos project you were working on with him?
Yo razofist I know you've been saying for a while you might make a video just about the noire genre. When you gonna get on that?
I've seen you mention the Blade Runner game a couple of times. Would a review of it be out of the question?
Greetings from Argentina.
As a film Noir fan, I don't know how I miss this game
It's a small, episodic release, that didn't recieve a lot of press.
I wish people did have time for that....
Yeah, Coltrane!
i am just loving that outro música and the game is on my to fuck list!
Looks like my kind of game.
"Bullets provided by Eric Holder" It's funny cause it's true
"powdered licorice half a teaspoon"
Let the spice flow
I thought that guy in the intro sounded like Geralt.
While we're at Film Noire: Is Mob City worth a watch? Frank Darabont has done nothing but cool stuff.
a.. a Are you Spoony's long lost brother?!
As a noir fan, what your thoughts on Grim Fandango and the Max Payne games?
Razor, have you thought of making a top 10 (or whatever number) list of your favorite films noir?
'Thought of'? I've been planning a more... documentary, less jokey-style series on the history of Film Noir, for quite awhile, now. It'll happen.
***** Great, can't wait.
Razor, are you going to make a video regarding the Dokken Japanese Reunion tour?
Marlow was a beast in The Wire!
Never heard of this game , great recommend
Clive Barkers Jericho is a great game not even close to what people say it is they are all fools.

Review The Divison and the original Assault on Precinct 13 sometime. I would like to hear your take on them.
Witchers have their emotions removed. Geralt's voice was intentional.
Razor I don't want to sound impatient but, where is your Bathory mythos!!? If you are doing one currently.
Yo Razor, how about a rant about the Hugo awards this year?
What happened this time?
This: www.theguardian.com/books/2016/aug/21/hugo-awards-winners-nk-jemisin-sad-rabid-puppies
Great little homage to Old Noir.
Deus Ex 4?
Hey Razor ya got any early impressions on Deus Ex yet? I'm loving Mankind Divided myself.
I am as well. Slick is a word that comes to mind.
maybe you should amke a quick update about this, because the game was canned after 2 episodes.
siddbastard the company went bankrupt
Have you seen Devil in a Blue Dress RazorFist?
Cant wait the Deus Ex review. I know its coming
Razor... how could you review this game in august and not even mention the tiny fact that the devs abandoned the game after episode 2 (out of 5) even though they have been selling a "complete season" version.

That feels kinda relevant.
Because that is a lie. Check their Twitter.

It's been a couple years. No episode 3. Official website no longer exists. Their Facebook hasn't been updated since 2016.
has razorfist seen boardwalk empire or public enemies where is the noir game where you play a gangster lol
My mind is still blown by how this guy did Michael Jackson
just played through episode 1, and that was fucking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Razor, whats your favorite classic Film-Noir?
SOLD!
May not be polished but I'll take an unpolished diamond over a polished turd any day of the week.
It definitely beats waiting for Rockstar to dust off LA Noire. Or for Rockstar to do anything other than GTA V updates.
Question: does memento count as noir?
Are you interested in writing published articles?

my main you should have ten times as many subscribers.
thoughts on mankind divided?
If you had the finances to make a game what kind of game would it be?
I know that black and white aesthetics are the calling card of the film noir genre, but is there a specific name for only including a specific color like red into the mix? Or is that just another typical artistic feature of the same genre.
I'm guessing Telltale Games has failed to impress you with their work?
This game looks cool as shit.
Can't say that I'd like this game. The issue with the investigation mechanics I personally find game breaking. I'll wait for the rest of the games episodes to be released and I'll at least give it a chance. Till then, I now for some reason have a huge nostalgia woody to play games like "Darkseed" and "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis" and other point and clicks again.
Regardless of my opinion on the game in question though. Keep the good work. The video was entertaining as always.
Hello next purchase
Haha, Eric holder supplied the bullets. Haha. Hahahaha
What are your thoughts on The Witcher 3?
He doesn't like it. If I remember correctly, he refuses to review it due to the fact that the story was plagiarized
So when are the No Man Sky and Mankind Divided reviews?
No Man's Sky: Star Citizen's future.
+ghostfear2011 Star Shitizen
Can't wait. Star Citizen should prove to be extremely entertaining.
...provided you don't actually pay any money for it and watch the shitshow from the sidelines.
At the 7:08 mark, is that a Cthulhu cultist mask?
You seem to be a little quiet in this video. Might need to adjust the levels for the next time.
I can't tell if he liked it or hated it or if it was a in the middle between like and hate.
He liked it, had issues with the gameplay, ruled it well worth the price at $5.
Oh, it's 5 bucks? That's actually reasonable.
Basically every review comes down to a format akin to this, ideally discussing the game's ups and downs in approximately equal measure unless it's an absolute shitshow.
Rip the devs of this game :(
did this game feel more complete than "no man's sky"?!
Well, there's only two episodes out so far.
...so, yes.
+The Rageaholic lol I kind of figured
6:11 That guy keeps turning up in your videos. Who is he?
