According to some sources, this is meant to be a prequel to Boiling Point, which would explain why Saul Meyers is younger, though not why he sounds like Nigel Thornberry.
@@Tehsnakerer obviously, the coked up speed hopping caused Saul to warp through time and space. I offer this very late comment up to the algorithm gods.
You lucked out having the Don bug after the forger quest. His next quest is to kill then impersonate a guerilla leader and give a speech that is meant to dissuade people from joining the guerillas but not tip them off that its intentional. I have tried every single combination of answers (there's like 10 dialogue choices you have to make during the speech) and either you get everyone to join the guerillas in the first few questions and fail, or you get them to leave and say screw the guerillas which also causes you to fail the quest. Either way the Don says if he didn't like you so well he would have had you killed, you get some XP but no money and the quest completes and the Don says he has no more quests for you, go see his Nephew, which isn't an actual quest so I never did meet this Nephew.
The defending from guerillas was annoying, and it also requires the RPG perk (apparently you get it for free but it didn't trigger for me) and some areas make the Mafia hostile to you when you reach the part where 2 helicopters attack the boats. I also never found the coke stash after he gave me the key.
your comment was so fitting and funny to me I always remember this/fill in the gap when this part in the video comes up or even if I think about it or see this video in recommandations..
This game's acting had been pretty quaintly amusing all the way through, up until that final, incomprehensible run-on sentence rumination by Saul, at which point it became super fucking hilarious. At least we got "CUT WITH KEVLAR," so the game got one quality line in.
Lol that twist. I can picture it now, Congress telling the CIA director "this poison coke business is making people panic! You need to make sure the coke coming into our country is clean, understand?! Clean! We're increasing your funding"
Yeah I don't follow the logic tbh I mean DEA I get FBI maybe but unless the president decides that some poisoned cocaine is enough to overthrow the government I'm confused on how this helps the CIA.
That "hop around" is called "Bunnyhopping". It's a common old school FPS movement that comes from a bug in the original Quake Engine. The bug caused the player to keep gaining acceleration on each jump he did, if the camera was slightly twisted to the side and jumping in an angle. The quake engine was extremelly popular and used in many old FPS beyond Quake itself (who popularized the Bunnyhpping). Later, Valve licensed the Quake engine, and heavily modified to develop it's own Source Engine, with which they created Half Life. Altrough source was indeed a heavily modified Quake engine, it still retained the famous bunnyhopping bug, thus Bunnyhopping was possible in both Half Life and Half life 2, allongside a plethoria of other games that used the Source Engine. In modern times, some games (like retro-FPS Dusk) intentionally introduce this bug as a gameplay feature, as it has become a trademark of old-school FPS and skill-based movement.
Russian is my native language(even though I'm not Russian) and I've beaten White Gold when I was younger. Too bad I haven't been familiar with your channel when you were working on videos about Boiling Point and White Gold, I would have explained you many things you may miss due to bad translation and stuff. Those guys at the beginning of your video are actually reference to the russian comedy show "Nasha Russia"(Lit: Our Russia), those two characters are migrant builders who barely speak Russian and fail epicly while doing their "job". In reality in Moscow many people often hire migrants(often illegal ones) to do their dirty job since they are cheap.
Thanks for doing this my dude. If only this and boiling point weren't such technical nightmares, it would be easier for people to give these a spin. Boiling point was good fun, but never managed to get this one working from the physical disc at least. Patches and whatnot applied afterwards, it really was a gamble to see if it worked or not. Sometimes it booted and crashed, sometimes it didn't even boot up. You did some good voodoo to get this working. Anywhoo, love your stuff a bunch. I'll be sure to force feed this one to my friends.
Glad you enjoyed it, the technical side of these games is an unfortunate mess that I've been quite lucy with, if I ever get to Precursors hopefully that keeps up
Funny thing on that mission to collect the statues is that the Guerrila will actually give you the statue for free if you are in good relations with then.
The intro at the start is a reference to reccuring gag from "Наша Russia", a shitty Russian adaptation of "Little Britain" (as impossible as it sounds for it to be even shittier than original). Search "наша раша равшан и джамшут" for a source material.

I've played it a couple of years back (in russian) so the story wasn't that clear haha, so far i gathered that this is actually a prequel to Boiling Point. Such a weird game and yet so special. The driving music is EPIC and you can buy an island!
1:19:55 Holy shit, Saul Myers is *Special Agent Jack Decker.* No two ways about it. He's Decker. Look up Decker season 1. Even the way he flubs the line "can fanatics... understand". It's a miracle. He's goddamn Decker with a Steve-Bruleier voice.
So, the inciting incident of this game is that... "a rapper has died on a crapper". You know, i kind of regret that this game's original language wasn't English - i'm sure they would have made a joke about that if it was
Just a small point. This video is five years old and the unofficial patches are still being worked on. Meaning that it's better to play this game now than it ever was in the past. Not having access to Boiling Point, that was the only opus I could play and I found myself enjoying it more than I thought I would after this video.
I love how the game's peso based progression ends up depicting mercenary work as wildly unprofitable, just a complete sucker's game pyramid scheme-style where you keep getting told you gotta spend money to make money but never do.
It's so hilariously out of place. It's like one of those PSAs where they drag in a celebrity to talk about drugs or something. "Now, kids, we've had a lot of fun bunnyhopping through gunfights and undoing CIA conspiracies, but let's take a second to talk about the long-reaching and violent ramifications of colonialism and genocide."
The unofficial patch, some time after the video, changed the wording of the "Install" button in the perks tab, now its called "Select". Supposedly this unofficial patch is approved by the original developers, but the modder did not respect the fact that Myers is supposed to be a freaking cyborg.
24:57 I can't tell if this is actually a great joke about the CIA's general haplessness in the course of enacting their horrific plans or just a neat coincidence.
@@MSupaCroc Nope, Just Cause was made on Avalanche's propriety engine, whereas Xenus 2 and The Precursors were made on what appears to be Deep Shadows' proprietary engine, Vital Engine 3. What I find curious is how if two of Deep Shadows' games were on VE3, and let's say Xenus (Boiling Point) was on VE2 (not confirmed), then what the hell was VE1 used for? And if it's not Deep Shadows' engine, then I don't know whose it is, because I can find no information on such an engine outside of Xenus 2 and The Precursors.
3 years later and I'm still laughing my ass to tears from this ending. Dialogue delivery and an overall shoddiness of the scene transcends the mortal boundaries of being bad, skyrocketing into the gaming's best endings. What a great terrible game. Thank you Tehsnakerer for bringing this shit-show of a game from my childhood into the spotlight once again.
I think I've watched this review, like, a dozen times and I only just now realized at 3:08 you said "gunfire and Russian" and not "gunfire *in* Russian," as if the game had somehow replaced gun sound effects with random voice clips (though I wouldn't put it past this game to make that happen outta nowhere).
34:55 it's probably just graphomania and theatrical delivery from vo i have to see it to be precise, but that's what i would expect from tradition every writer wants to be war and piece every actor wants to shake spear
I realize that this video is 5 years old, but I might as well add in my 2 cents I’ve been learning russian recently, and at 25:07 the guy says “Какая эта страна? Это же Перу, верно?” Which translates to “Which country is this? This is… Peru, right?”
I have just discovered this channel, and beeing the vanquish review the first video of yours that i see, im actually surprised that someone with your talent doesnt have more subcribres, believe me when I say that I would be a patreon myself if I could
I just wanna say, Shout out to that damned Bassonist for sticking with Saul through the whole experience, playing that one note from those somber bits of Star Wars. Wish he could’ve gone through the whole swell, but mans gotta make do
Weapons actually can drop at 0 percent wear (So no jamming at all) in Boiling point in my experience, it IS pretty rare though so you might take a while if you want a specific enemy gun. The bar next to the person is your stamina.
The ultimate big bad of this game's motivation is "revenge and killing the white man" but the first person we see them kill is a black dude and the two who died in the cutscene seem to also be a black dude and some sort of Hispanic. Amazing storytelling.
Translation of first moments of the video (this is Russian, but with bad accent of Middle-Eastern / Caucasian person, thus mistakes in words to simulate): - Helloy, mastera. - Hows da mood? - Mood is wery good for us, master! - We build all that master wish. - If wanted we build house!
I've watched this video a few times and the exchange between Saul and Nixon still cracks me up, both the voice actors sound like they're doing a Rick and Morty style improv bit.
1:14:29 So in other words, Saul Myers is the original John Wick? In all seriousness though, this review was a treat as always. I gotta say though since you seem to really enjoy the combat in this and Boiling Point I have to ask if you've ever considered/ever had played the S.T.A.L.K.E.R games. They would be a great fit to be honest.
I've played STALKER, it's a game I keep restarting and hoping to get proper stuck into and I can't for whatever reason, I'm sure I'll one day beat SoC and CoP.
Im recently speaking with one of main gamedesigners of 1st Xenus, and he said thats be completly mess in production, and they changed MH look in 2 game because actor from 1st game dont give them aproval for 2 time))
This first part is actually a reference to the Russian TV show called NashaRasha (OurRussia), which has a bit about two illegal migrants from Central Asia
1:14:28 Bull's eye! Also, pretty excellent voice acting! This video was great. Uhm, the thing is..about this game, uh....I needed closure. I have always adored it. But never had the patience to finish it. It's a buggy mess yet it's fascinating to me. 1:18:37 I am really enjoying the voice acting. So.was it worth it..? ..well, to you, probably not. For me...nah... But I did enjoy watching this. **EDIT** I wrote "watching the this", whoops.
"But I know one thing... I'm very tired."

Weapons actually can drop at 0 percent wear (So no jamming at all) in Boiling point in my experience, it IS pretty rare though so you might take a while if you want a specific enemy gun.
The bar next to the person is your stamina.
There were guys fixing relationships for each faction in the first game, e.g. a bearded guy in the bar of the first city for guerrillas.
The ultimate big bad of this game's motivation is "revenge and killing the white man" but the first person we see them kill is a black dude and the two who died in the cutscene seem to also be a black dude and some sort of Hispanic.
Amazing storytelling.
He's going through our middle, connector like a SPEED DEMON
you can see this is made in a Eastern European countery since the hud and grahpics are simmilar to STALKER.
They are similar because Deep Shadow was a part of GSC.
Also, the Fonts are the same as well.
i didn't know every CIA agent has the US anthem playing in their near vicinity
Translation of first moments of the video (this is Russian, but with bad accent of Middle-Eastern / Caucasian person, thus mistakes in words to simulate):
- Helloy, mastera.
- Hows da mood?
- Mood is wery good for us, master!
- We build all that master wish.
- If wanted we build house!
I've watched this video a few times and the exchange between Saul and Nixon still cracks me up, both the voice actors sound like they're doing a Rick and Morty style improv bit.
The exploration music in this game sounds like a blend between Morrowind and Star Wars.
So I admit. Without context for the thumbnail, I thought the main character was Frank West and this was a Dead Rising prototype.
1:14:29 So in other words, Saul Myers is the original John Wick?
In all seriousness though, this review was a treat as always. I gotta say though since you seem to really enjoy the combat in this and Boiling Point I have to ask if you've ever considered/ever had played the S.T.A.L.K.E.R games. They would be a great fit to be honest.
I've played STALKER, it's a game I keep restarting and hoping to get proper stuck into and I can't for whatever reason, I'm sure I'll one day beat SoC and CoP.
Im recently speaking with one of main gamedesigners of 1st Xenus, and he said thats be completly mess in production, and they changed MH look in 2 game because actor from 1st game dont give them aproval for 2 time))
The intro alone nearly made me sibscribe to this channel, then the hour and a half of great content sealed the deal.
your videos are awesome!
I love how they're almost a short lp of the game alongside being a review.
Any plans on reviewing their third title?
Kyle Fragoso I will eventually. next one I am working on is Dead Rising 4. Need a bit of a break before the sequel
@@Tehsnakerer ok
32:02 ok that was hilarious execution there
Turns out white men can jump...
More like bunnyhop, but still...
Saul “the killer bunny” Meyers
The drive music , it's . . . fantastic _!_
Your reviews are so much fun to watch.
Hate open world games with weapon degradation but your vids and a fascination of Eurojank have me wanting this and Boiling Point
Came back for the driving theme, gah damn. That's right up there with the spirit tracks music when you're driving on the railroads.
I love these videos n its criminal you're only at 50k subs
Always happy to see a new video.
22:05
"ADMIN, HE'S DOING IT SIDEWAYS"
This first part is actually a reference to the Russian TV show called NashaRasha (OurRussia), which has a bit about two illegal migrants from Central Asia
1:14:28 Bull's eye! Also, pretty excellent voice acting!
This video was great. Uhm, the thing is..about this game, uh....I needed closure. I have always adored it. But never had the patience to finish it. It's a buggy mess yet it's fascinating to me.
1:18:37 I am really enjoying the voice acting.
So.was it worth it..? ..well, to you, probably not. For me...nah...
But I did enjoy watching this.
**EDIT** I wrote "watching the this", whoops.
This is my favorite video of Teh, second interesting hour long video next to the HDTF video
Lets play a game: Guess which part was used for the E3 and/or demo
I'll get you started: my guess is battle island
YES!! Thank you! Xenus 2 had a giant spider that scared the heck out of me! :D
