Apologies to the windows I blew up with 8:42. It's a error from the editing that I can't replace without re-rendering and uploading the entire video again.
Phantom Forces really does break expectations for what you'd be prepared to find in a Roblox game. At least it did compared to some of the other more popular Roblox games.
This is the sort of thing I love from your videos. You manage to take a tired format - game recommendations - and turn it into an industry analysis/commentary hybrid piece that makes me want to play these games, not just because I want to, but for the significance of their design (or lack thereof). The final game in the list was justified very well, even if it was initially amusing. Also, those game intro title cards were really neat. Really helped to make this video feel special.
I went to download Ironsight because it looked pretty cool, and when making the account I got the message that my email address was already registered. It turns out my childhood self made an account with them before, my old dorky username and everything. Any of you guys remember Gunz and Soldier Front? It's the same publisher as those, those games were my childhood!
Mr. CuHnadian, your editing is hands down the best one in the medium right now. Videogame journalism has never looked this beautiful. The closest to this is NoClip, but they are a team, and you're just the one man. This should be the standard. You're an inspiration to all.
A part of me wants to agree with this effort of editing being the standard, but I'd feel like as if it being the standard would make his effort not stand out. I'm glad that we have so many lazy videos to get tired of, so that we'd have something amazing to unearth and cherish.
Dude your sass at the end sometimes is like a decadent cherry on top of a chocolate shelled cookies and cream sundae brewed at an ice cream shop for $10 that is just big enough that you can share it with friends but not too big that even splitting it makes you feel bloated. You’re awesome
you know what's wild? I loved the club back in the day, but none of my friends were as into it as I was so I eventually stopped playing. I've also been trying to remember what it was even called recently but with no luck. what a crazy coincidence that this video popped up in my recommended
Love your game! I play it on Steam. So satisfying at 144fps! Though I'd like to try it at 240fps someday. That said, the enemy AI is ridiculously hard even with their setting on easy! Rubber banding much?
Watching this in 2021, it's dawned on me that a lot of The Club's appeal is shared by the more recent ULTRAKILL. Granted, blitzing through levels as brutally and efficiently as possible isn't ULTRAKILL's ultimate end goal, but almost all of the game's systems heavily encourage it.
This is such a fantastic topic when talking about *Hidden Gems* . Things and features you just can not state on the box. It's great that you brought up this topic, man!
Why do people hate them? I'm normally not for dlc add ons and so on, but Fortnite is free. It's a gift. If you don't like the fanbase and streamers. Don't pay attention to them.
DrIvanRadosivic I disagree with your evaluation of Fortnite as nothing but a fad. Despite it's initial popularity being a product of the Battle Royale craze, I do think it deserves a bit more credit. Building, double pumps, and other small features have coalesced into an experience which has small entry requirements, but surprisingly skillful endgame.
CrazyWeeMonkey and the fact thats made on DX11 which weird as the game looked like ass and deserved to make on DX9C or DX10/10.1 but i must say the game is good they just need to fix the fact that you can wallbang everybody easily
I miss when games like the club came out. I didn't play it or even really know about it at the time of release, but its a pure example of a time in video games where tech was really improving, but devs were still focusing on gameolay over photorealism or movie level cutscenes
I miss the goldeneye-esque like shooters of the late 90s and early 2000s. Games like Perfect Dark, Timesplitters, 007 Night Fire and of course Goldeneye 007, were accessible, had an arena shooter focus, yet were still fair and not overly competitive. I think a budget titled goldeneye-esque shooter would be able to carve out a small niche for its shelf in today's hyper competitive shooter market.
The editing, the topic, the content, the style, the humour, your voice. Your videos are an absolute pleasure to watch and i prepare myself before watching as I would with a movie or documentary. Thank you for what you do :)
Congratulations raycevick on how far you’ve come. You’re videos are so insightful and well written. Keep doing what you’re doing and making amazing content.
Never in my life have I expected someone to bring up The Club again. Wow. That soundtrack's been a constant presence in my music library for over half a decade. Thanks for shining a spotlight on it.
I never expected anyone to talk about the club. I had a blast playing it when it came out it has a very specific feel that few games have and I'm glad to see it get some recognition here.
when i first saw footage of Ironsight, i got excited. Call of Duty gameplay from the glory days on PC? for free? sign me up! then i clicked on the referral link, and i was greeted with what i can only describe as eye candy from Korea. confused, i looked around the site, and spotted "Aeria Games", which made me cautious. when they took over Alliance of Valiant Arms from Ijji, they completely destroyed the game by making it P2W and making everything a bad grind. if i remember correctly, they outright disregarded people who had their accounts disabled for no reason. i'm glad that Ironsight is fun. Warface has some competition now.
Ahhhh I remember I bought the club for 50 cents at a local games shop with some friends. We wanted something to play that was split screen. I think I ended up putting it in a blended as joke later that night.
Hey man, I just wanna say I truly appreciate all the work you put in for your video's and it is always a joy to watch/listen to them when they come out. Please keep up the amazing work!
damn it!!! You did it again. I love how you turn a video into a lesson of sorts. you're one of the only people who make me see games from such different perspectives. I love what you do. thank you!!! Keep it up.
Ironsight really surprised me. The only big complaint I have of it is its lack of identity. It makes me sad to see such a well crafted game be so boring to look at, despite being fantastic to play.
I absolutely loved this video. Many tubers who talk about games don't talk about hidden gems. I wish there were more videos that talked about these games.
I think the Orange Box did successfully put its gameplay on the box, though. When I first saw the Orange Box in stores, I already knew Half-Life 2, Episode 1, and Team Fortress Classic. In that case, all the box had to do was list the contents (which it did), and I was sold.
Interesting about The Club. Reminds me a little bit of the Dreamcast-era first/third-person arcade shooter, Outtrigger. I think I'll pick up a copy. Also, as a fan of futuristic racing games, I still need to check out Redout as well. Nice to see something like that make it on this list.
So if I have this right as a description, Ironsight is like CoD designed for PC that is actually supported and not just an afterthought ported over from a console version.
I had heard of Ironsight a little while back and was curious about it, but it being free to play made me a bit hesitant to give it a try. Hearing your thoughts on about it and your overall point in this video actually gave me the push to finally give it a try.
Since you introduced me to all these new games, I feel it would only be fair to also recommend at least one game you most likely haven’t played and might enjoy. Game: Blur Description: Think Mario kart but with more realistic cars. A very fun game that I found by accident. (Also thanks introducing Iron Force, I’ve been looking for a good cod alternative since infinite warfare. Look forward to playing it!)
Other than the orange box video (which I haven't finished yet), this is my first video of yours I've watched and my lord the quality is superb and introduced me to new games and a new way to look at games
There is a simplicity about how your thumbnails are and just the overall look of your channel in general that I adore for some reason. Keep it up, man.
So after hearing your thoughts on the club I was curious what you thought of Brink. Personally it's still one of my guilty pleasure games and wish it could get a second life.
I played Brink when it launched. It was a good game severely harmed by terrible bugs and support. I tried to revive it on PC as it's Free, but the port is so broken I wasn't able to.
i play phantom forces for the meme value and the fact that if you are decent in FPSs in general, you can stomp a server pretty easily. i own other games like tf2 and insurgency and etc, but if i get bored with those i just come back to PF for the laughs. (also my laptop is pure shit, so not many games run well to begin with) oh and im rank 135 btw lmao
I hate COD but for some reason Ironsight is tolerable, it could be because it was made for PC while every COD after 4/WaW(because it was basically a high budget WW2 mod for 4) was made for consoles.
What you said during the RedOut part about damage sound when landing the ship, in wipeout, there's always been that kind of sound when landing, like when scratching walls or other ships and it's not confusing at all, and as you said yourself, it feels realistic.
Great video. The title also works perfectly. I first didn't really understood what was meant by it, but now that I've watched it, I totally understand.
This was a fantastic idea for a video, unknown gems that no one would take a second look at, see if you could a series like this maybe once a month or so if your schedule allows
Wow thanks for reminding me of Assault Cube. I totally forgot about Assault Cube, Cube 2 Sauerbraten, and the other Cube 2 games. Just brought back a ton of memories.

Apologies to the windows I blew up with 8:42. It's a error from the editing that I can't replace without re-rendering and uploading the entire video again.
No no, it's about what one expects from that particular kind of footage, it's suitable.
lol it made me jump
my heart skipped a beat lol
It just made me think you were a degenerate. Most of us are used to earrape by now
Raycevick my ears
Okay but what if the box is also a PSP
review ROBLOX
Top 10 questions science can’t answer
An actual Roblox review
Shammy wow ure alive!
Shammy review Roblox.
You must be extremely talented if you can talk about a roblox shooter and have me intrigued the whole way through.
MnM it’s actually really fun dont sleep on it
If you ignore the fact that you're dropshotting a bunch of ten year olds, it's a VERY solid shooter. I enjoyed it a lot.
Phantom Forces really does break expectations for what you'd be prepared to find in a Roblox game. At least it did compared to some of the other more popular Roblox games.
Pyren I would give a like but gotta keep it 420
My opinion is stupid And doesn't matter but you should play Arsenal very fun
This is the sort of thing I love from your videos.

Agree! 👍

Raycevick reviews a Roblox shooter. OOF!
Great video as always, Lucas!
R E A L I S T I C F P S G A M E P L A Y
of course soldiders taking half mag before dropping is realistixxxxx
I don’t think there is a single “realistic” triple AAA shooter. Most people wouldn’t find them fun.
@@thelordofforeheads2839 True. I'm a soldier but when I play cod, i don't want to die with one bullet. I just want to have fun
@@thelordofforeheads2839 and ARMA games are war crime simulator...
@@addochandra4745 It’s not a war crime if Zeus doesn’t catch you.
>tfw you genuenely enjoy Phantom Forces like Raycevick
why is this happening, help.
Tenryuu I'm with you dude those 12 year old devs know a thing or two about making guns feel good
pf is done by college students iirc
the StyliS Studios team that made Phantom Forces, are all in their mid 20s
I wrote Phantom Force's guns and backend when I was 18/19. I'm 22 now lol.
Vector Same, fun game that can be downloaded in seconds on almost any library computer.
Hmm Iron Sight looks pretty nice.
Remus it's great, basically cod but better
Ironsight is the first cod type shooter I have played and liked.
It's not P2W, YET.
Is it on Steam?
They have their own site where you download the client from.
Mr. CuHnadian, your editing is hands down the best one in the medium right now. Videogame journalism has never looked this beautiful. The closest to this is NoClip, but they are a team, and you're just the one man. This should be the standard. You're an inspiration to all.
Julipe Jarana Check out Ahoy.
Agreed.
A part of me wants to agree with this effort of editing being the standard, but I'd feel like as if it being the standard would make his effort not stand out.
I'm glad that we have so many lazy videos to get tired of, so that we'd have something amazing to unearth and cherish.
Oh... you should watch Ahoy's videos, if you think this is great, Ahoy's on a new level
Ahoy's video on Polybius baffles me with how much effort he's put into it.
WHATS IN THE BOX?!!
THERE'S BLOOD INSIDE THIS BOX
THE BOX IS BLOOD! THE BOX IS JUST BL-
_Loot get!_
MAH DIAK
Fookin' laser sights!!! (Siege meme)
I miss old box art that was actually cool and interesting. Not just the cgi main character holding a weapon
DrIvanRadosivic both have main characters with a weapon in the cover
Cole Kelly doom had fantastic reverse art, shame they had to use that generic cover to make their game marketable
boi argree
boi thankfully doom switch edition used the reverse art as its default cover
Nakeyjakey has a great video on this
Dude your sass at the end sometimes is like a decadent cherry on top of a chocolate shelled cookies and cream sundae brewed at an ice cream shop for $10 that is just big enough that you can share it with friends but not too big that even splitting it makes you feel bloated.
You’re awesome
8:40 caught me off guard, gave me a good laugh!
Wasn't expecting it to be heard by you. I'm glad it entertained.
SheKnives TINA!!!
But you can sure put Season Passes on the box!
*sobs*
Edwin Kaburu Mr Robot is working on it, he's shut me out again but with Darlene's help we can track him down.
and microtransations hey pes did it
Holy shit I remember The Club. SEGA published it? That game faded into obscurity faster than a 2009 WoW killer.
you know what's wild? I loved the club back in the day, but none of my friends were as into it as I was so I eventually stopped playing. I've also been trying to remember what it was even called recently but with no luck. what a crazy coincidence that this video popped up in my recommended
Could The Club be a spiritual successor to Sega's own Outtrigger?
THANKS MAN, Redout developer here.
Love your game! I play it on Steam. So satisfying at 144fps! Though I'd like to try it at 240fps someday. That said, the enemy AI is ridiculously hard even with their setting on easy! Rubber banding much?
Suddenly Roblox appears.
I'm in love with a way out
Watching this in 2021, it's dawned on me that a lot of The Club's appeal is shared by the more recent ULTRAKILL. Granted, blitzing through levels as brutally and efficiently as possible isn't ULTRAKILL's ultimate end goal, but almost all of the game's systems heavily encourage it.
Now the premise reminds me of pizza towers mechanic of keeping a combo throughout the whole level
This is such a fantastic topic when talking about *Hidden Gems* . Things and features you just can not state on the box. It's great that you brought up this topic, man!
The moment when raycevick uploads is the moment i drop everything i was doing.
MnM
I’m sure most of us here do the same!
But does everybody say "OOF!" when they die?
no
I remember feeling like this when looking at warframe, i thought "Really" another PVP Arena -_-
but I got it early, and I love it.
I have the sneaking suspicion that Raycevick is Canadian
Man that NFS Highstakes ost hit me right in the nostalgia bone. Raycevick got some great taste in music for his vids.
its a bit refreshing hearing something good about roblox
Yeah phantom forces still feels better than bfv or codmw
please make a video about the craze of battle royale and your thoughts on pubg, and fortnite
DrIvanRadosivic Is still like him to do a video on it
if only lawbreakers was f2p it was the only reason why i didnt play it .
i am against only multiplayer games period .
Whats wrong with only multiplayer games? Some concepts simply just work better as a multiplayer only game.
Why do people hate them? I'm normally not for dlc add ons and so on, but Fortnite is free. It's a gift. If you don't like the fanbase and streamers. Don't pay attention to them.

Phantom forces is actually pretty good, except for the Roblox framerate cap of 60fps :(
Dspangs holy shit does that actually work? Well fuck me for making 2 phantom forces montages already...
CrazyWeeMonkey Lmao yeah it should, my friend with a 144hz monitor says it works
CrazyWeeMonkey and the fact thats made on DX11 which weird as the game looked like ass and deserved to make on DX9C or DX10/10.1 but i must say the game is good they just need to fix the fact that you can wallbang everybody easily
Nice Fear Factory background music
I miss when games like the club came out. I didn't play it or even really know about it at the time of release, but its a pure example of a time in video games where tech was really improving, but devs were still focusing on gameolay over photorealism or movie level cutscenes
14:34 seeing you bring up Rasterwerks in the library validated so much in me.
Thank you Racyevick
Everybody praised Fast Racing Neo for being an F-Zero replacement but Redout truly *advances* the genre imo
I miss the goldeneye-esque like shooters of the late 90s and early 2000s.

new Racyevick and GVMERS in the same weekend? bless up
Well shit, I need to go try Ironsight, considering the newest one COD game I played was Black Ops 2.
I'm the same... my last cod was bo2 I pre-ordered that game and was disappointed. though I might try bo4 this year
Never in my life have I expected someone to bring up The Club again. Wow.
That soundtrack's been a constant presence in my music library for over half a decade. Thanks for shining a spotlight on it.

Warface is hot p2w trash
Ahhhh I remember I bought the club for 50 cents at a local games shop with some friends. We wanted something to play that was split screen. I think I ended up putting it in a blended as joke later that night.
Hey man, I just wanna say I truly appreciate all the work you put in for your video's and it is always a joy to watch/listen to them when they come out. Please keep up the amazing work!
Brilliant like always. Thank you.
Its funny how Phantom Forces has more older players then younger, currently playing it right now lol
i was texting when 8:41 just jumpscared the hell out of me lol
One of your best, loved it!
damn it!!! You did it again. I love how you turn a video into a lesson of sorts. you're one of the only people who make me see games from such different perspectives. I love what you do. thank you!!! Keep it up.
Ironsight really surprised me. The only big complaint I have of it is its lack of identity. It makes me sad to see such a well crafted game be so boring to look at, despite being fantastic to play.
I couldn't afford a present this year, so I got you this box
I could watch you do this for hours... Its so satisfying watching unknown alternatives doing better what big games can't
I absolutely loved this video. Many tubers who talk about games don't talk about hidden gems. I wish there were more videos that talked about these games.
What about the orange box though 🤔🤔🤔 hmmmm
Just Another Videoless Channel half life 3 portal 3 and team fortress 3
I think the Orange Box did successfully put its gameplay on the box, though. When I first saw the Orange Box in stores, I already knew Half-Life 2, Episode 1, and Team Fortress Classic. In that case, all the box had to do was list the contents (which it did), and I was sold.
Except that is not putting the gameplay on the box. That's putting the games on the box, and you already knowing the gameplay from elsewhere.
It was just a joke I made in 3 seconds, I didn't actually mean anything by it
I remember The Club, was really fun.
Be great to see more videos that touch upon more hidden gems. I’m always looking for the next big surprise.
You do so such a great job making these videos. Thank you.
Interesting about The Club. Reminds me a little bit of the Dreamcast-era first/third-person arcade shooter, Outtrigger. I think I'll pick up a copy. Also, as a fan of futuristic racing games, I still need to check out Redout as well. Nice to see something like that make it on this list.
OK seriously now, you HAVE to give us a list of all the music you use in a video in the description, there are some great little nuggets there.
Music's listed at the end.
Great video as always Lucas. Keep it up, proud of ya!
Thank you for this video! Thanks for your time and your work :)
So if I have this right as a description, Ironsight is like CoD designed for PC that is actually supported and not just an afterthought ported over from a console version.
Spot on.
I had heard of Ironsight a little while back and was curious about it, but it being free to play made me a bit hesitant to give it a try. Hearing your thoughts on about it and your overall point in this video actually gave me the push to finally give it a try.
Since you introduced me to all these new games, I feel it would only be fair to also recommend at least one game you most likely haven’t played and might enjoy.
Game: Blur
Description: Think Mario kart but with more realistic cars. A very fun game that I found by accident.
(Also thanks introducing Iron Force, I’ve been looking for a good cod alternative since infinite warfare. Look forward to playing it!)
Other than the orange box video (which I haven't finished yet), this is my first video of yours I've watched and my lord the quality is superb and introduced me to new games and a new way to look at games
Been watching this channel for a while now and a sub was overdue!!! Keep up the good work brother
After watching this video, I'm going to revisit Ironsight.
*OOF*
Scrolled just for this
Love all your videos man, very interesting!
You are one of the best content creators I watch. Your quality of video is well worth the wait. Keep being awesome
What about Nintendo Labo? i mean is a box.
Hey Raycevick, could you possibly consider doing a years later piece on the Bioshock series? love your videos
Your videos are always stellar keep em up
There is a simplicity about how your thumbnails are and just the overall look of your channel in general that I adore for some reason. Keep it up, man.
So after hearing your thoughts on the club I was curious what you thought of Brink. Personally it's still one of my guilty pleasure games and wish it could get a second life.
I played Brink when it launched. It was a good game severely harmed by terrible bugs and support. I tried to revive it on PC as it's Free, but the port is so broken I wasn't able to.
i play phantom forces for the meme value and the fact that if you are decent in FPSs in general, you can stomp a server pretty easily. i own other games like tf2 and insurgency and etc, but if i get bored with those i just come back to PF for the laughs.
(also my laptop is pure shit, so not many games run well to begin with)
oh and im rank 135 btw lmao
TonyIshCoot even phantom forces runs worse than TF2(2007) at the same res and it have worse graphic than it
*meme value*
I didn't even completely realize this was a game recommendation video until about half way through, mad props
Fantastic video. This shit gets me so amped. The way you transfer your thoughts through the video is great.
NFS music outro?
"iron sight is like Black Ops 1 and 2"
-Alright, I'm listening
"...But even better"
*falls of chair*
Dude you’re so underrated. I found you yesterday and watched all of your Halo videos in a row. Keep up the fantastic work.
I can't get over how good you are at editing. Good shit man
Sure you can, look at halo 2, bulletstorm, and vanquish
Vanquish boxes litteraly slide away when you try to grab'em off the shelf !
Did you also find out about ironsight from LNG'S videos because that's where I found it, it reminded me I don't like COD anyway :(
i get the same feeling i cant stand the gameplay loop .
I hate COD but for some reason Ironsight is tolerable, it could be because it was made for PC while every COD after 4/WaW(because it was basically a high budget WW2 mod for 4) was made for consoles.
BigHairyFenian the proof is the mw2 is vram leakage and bo3 have the same issue
These vidoes are gold
What you said during the RedOut part about damage sound when landing the ship, in wipeout, there's always been that kind of sound when landing, like when scratching walls or other ships and it's not confusing at all, and as you said yourself, it feels realistic.
Raycevick giving roblox some love lol
Is this vid sponned by ironsight?
You don't know Raycevick if you're seriously asking that.
Ashton Gaming Clearly it’s sponsored by Phantom Forces
As always truly great.
I'm so happy that this was recommended to me, this video is fantastic
Do a warframe video
"I like that it encourages running and gunning"
"I like that it removes the incentive to run around with smg's"
me too bro
I love this concept of presenting underrated games. Good work, ray!
Really loving the new section intro's your editor is off the charts!
Great video. The title also works perfectly. I first didn't really understood what was meant by it, but now that I've watched it, I totally understand.
This was a fantastic idea for a video, unknown gems that no one would take a second look at, see if you could a series like this maybe once a month or so if your schedule allows
Thank you for talking about Phantom Forces, I was so surprised at just how competent and fun it was when I discovered it
I've always liked The Club, Raycevick.
YOU'RE NOT ALONE!
Wow thanks for reminding me of Assault Cube. I totally forgot about Assault Cube, Cube 2 Sauerbraten, and the other Cube 2 games. Just brought back a ton of memories.
"sound effects are less impactful then Quake" Quake's sound effects are pretty impactful so i don't know if that's much of an insult.
God damn every video you make is just... You're the best channel I've ever seen when it comes to retrospective analysis of games man.
Never stop making youtube videos GOD DAMN SUCH GOOD CONTENT
