      Can you review red faction and then rf2? I want to know how much people hated it and at the same time they loved it. But dont play on hard, even normal is really hard. This game will show you where the halo 2 jackals came from.

      i buy this game now for 4,99€ original price was 9,99€ but with 50% discount is a very nice price. you can't find it on other site that sells key.. so buy now if you want 50% discount.

    I remember following this game when someone mentioned it in 2015, following the developers RUclips channel. when came out I got it during the summer sale. I was excited to see you cover it now. This game is lovably janky and has a amateur charm to it. It screams passion project and I respect that. Not perfect but intriguing.

    I don't even remember if I was the one that recommended this to you, but you are on-point with it's inspirations. It feels like a genuine mid-00's Eurojank FPS in the best way possible. I'm surprised you go on about how interactive the levels were, practically every object can be thrown around or broken, it's on par with the interactivity of Half-Life: Alyx in some places, which is pretty damn impressive for a one-man show!

    Hey Jarek, ever played Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi?
    It's a horror-FPS game, but not like Soma or Amnesia. It's in 1912, you're in a castle, you fight against vampires, dark being and monsters to save your relatives. It has some interesting mechanics but I don't want to go into detail much. I would suggest that game to you.
    It didn't age that well, but you should be able to run it on your modern PC.

    Hey Jarek mind taking a look at Deep Rock Galactic two weeks ago the game has come out of Early Access (a milestone not many games reach in there) and at least in my opinion you might enjoy it not just because of it being a shooter but it has a few similarities to games like DOOM that encourage you to be mobile as some enemies can only be attacked from the rear. The enemies are also alien in nature not exactly like the aliens from Xen in Half Life but more spider in appearance called Glyphids that come in all shapes and sizes but are also aided with other aliens like Macteras and Naedocyte that at least for the Naedocyte are mostly small in size except for the Breeder which if allowed will constantly lay eggs sending hatchlings your way, you'll know its close by once you start hearing the sounds of a whale while down in the caves.

    Thanks for this, I got the game and actually had a surprisingly enjoyable experience.
    I agree with pretty much all criticism, but if you accept the jank it's easy to get immersed in the atmosphere. There are quite smart secrets and some witty tongue-in-cheek dialogue as well.
    If combat was more balanced this would be a really good FPS as well. But at least shooting FEELS good.

    They had the M4and 74u probably share ammo because they are both similarly chambered in intermediate cartridges; although different caliber. They had the Scar sharing larger caliber ammo also; but funny if labeling it Scar L. Scar L(light, 556 like the m4) and Scar H(heavy, larger 308 cartridge) So it would still not make any sense.. video game logic.

    Hey Jarek! could you check out an old abandonware fps game called Codename Tenka?, the game looked interesting, also hearing the opinion of others with more experience playing fps it's always a plus.

    8:00 SCAR L is 7.62, M4 is 5.56. You're thinking of the SCAR M.

      I don't know where you got this information but it's incorrect. There is no Scar M. There is only the Scar L (5.56) and Scar H (7.62) The scar L uses the same ammo as an M4. It just stands for Scar Light and Scar Heavy.

      @@Jarekthegamingdragon You know what, that's right. My bad. I keep thinking L is for LMG. 🤦‍♂️

      @@ChairmanKam That...doesn't make any more sense either since LMGs can use any caliber. The US military uses the saw and that's 5.56.

      @@Jarekthegamingdragon I didn't say it made sense, I said it was the logic. I for a long time didn't realize MMG was a thing, so I thought the SAW was a different category of MG from LMG. I used to think LMG was M240 class.

    Rough around the edges, but impressive. That's the general pattern I'm getting from Russian and or Ukrainian games.

    Jarek, can you cover TRON 2.0 at some point? It’s very underrated.
