ali abdullah, lol how is punisher a Disney character? Is it because Disney bought marvel? Netflix got the rights on the daredevil universe, that includes the punisher, lol
Fat people taking more damage before dying is actually accurate. In an issue of The Punisher Warzone, Frank had a shootout in a morgue with a hood. Frank picked up a fat cadaver to use as a body shield, and the hood picked up a skinny one. The bullets passed right through the skinny cadaver and Frank's reply was, "And that's why you never hide behind a skinny guy." So the mechanic IS canon.
Please review Scarface: The World Is Yours ! I also just want to say thank you, your videos are awesome! I’ve been binge watching a bunch of your reviews of PS2 games, the nostalgia is real! Your reviews of modern games are great too. Please keep it up, you’re doing great work!
Those flashbacks are the only collectibles in this game (I think) , also Frank has different replies to them, for example if you get the "I'll go straight, I promise!" flashback and you decide to kill the guy Frank will say "Bones, promises, both break." BUT if you knock the guy out (yes you can do that by pressing N when you are holding them as human shields) Frank will say "Keep that promise."
I know that sometimes Frank has multiple replies for the same flashbacks. For instance, when the one that says “You’re gonna burn in Hell”, as Frank does the execution, I’ve heard him say “I’ve been there, and now I’m back.” And I’ve heard him also say “You first.”
Part of the epic enjoyment for me at the time was that I was still riding the high of the Tom Jane Punisher movie that year... and the fact that he voiced him in the game(to seasoned perfection) made it feel like some kind of sequel spawn of the movie and comics.
Hairless Sasquatch This game redeems Tom Jane because he voices the character. Besides he didn't have the power to say no and the film budget was only 22 million which is low budget. Jon Bernthal to me feels like a soldier trying to be a tough guy who always screams for no reason.
I like Thomas Jane, but he wasnt a good movie Punisher to me. Did like him in Dirty Laundry, though. My 2 favorites are actually Ray Steveson and Jon Bernthal
Hairless Sasquatch Bro, that scene is great, and true to the character. It's straight from one the best Punisher writers, Chuck Dixon. Frank does more than eviscerating people to get information.
I bought this game back in 2005 when I was 12... Yep. Highly inappropriate, but DAMN--- this game brought a few hairs to my chest and IRON MAN! was there too!
I do love me some Punisher, And this is certainly a fun one. Id love to see another Punisher game (Lil Fun Fact for the 2 people who didnt know: Most of the gameplay in this game would later be passed down to another Volition game, Saint's Row)
Shin Computer-Monster It'd be really cool if rockstar picked up the licensing, they already have decent shooting mechanics and they've done torture gameplay
This is the opportune time for games like that though. Controversy sells. Hatred was a shitty game but they turned a profit off that because controversy
Nabil Ahmed TimeSplitters is fucking amazing. It's sad seeing how new generations of consoles ruined FPS games. Especially after games like TimeSplitters or Darkwatch on PS2.
Is it me or are game review channels almost dead these days? Like the only channels that seem to review games on a regular basis these days are this and CGR! I'm counting the watchable ones at least! Honestly I find it hard to add Angry Joe and that Jimquisition guy to the list. They are just insufferable!
Getsuga Tenshō I used to watch Angry Joe all the time, but I grew bored after a while. I swear, Gggmanlives' reviews are entertaining enough to watch without any intention of buying the game(s). His videos are just the right length and produced frequently enough to keep me thoroughly entertained. One of the few channels where I have my notifications set to alert me to every new video.
James Alexander How the hell did I forget to add LGR! I guess I look at him as more of hardware reviewer, rather than a game reviewer, but every video he makes is gold. Also Accursed Farms (home of Freeman's Mind), but he's rather more of a play-threw sort of fella, he does reviews but they are usually much longer than 10 mim.
@@fakenews6133 Bernthal is complete shit. Screaming like a caveman idiot in every scene. But I guess for young hipsters who like the worst written show in the world (Walking Dead) they are just happy to see Shane playing Shane yet again. Total trash.
@@fakenews6133 i think Bernthal is a great actor, but whatever you're on, i want to be that high. Thomas Jane is the best live-action Punisher hands down, and he does excellent voicing him in the game too.
I grew up reading Punisher comics, and this game and the Thomas Jane movie were the most faithful to the character. Still probably in my top five favorite games
*_I remember 'The Punisher' was a throw away Iron Man villain. So much so that Stan Lee, gave his name away for a new comic book series series called "The Punisher". Lol._*
Thomas Jane reprising his role in this game really helps make it, the guy has such a good voice for a character like this. He was pretty damn great in The Expanse as well.
Don’t know if anyone’s said this, but the reasons why you’re punished for executions if because of the ESRB. They said that the interrogation scenes were too graphic, and that they needed to make the scenes black and white and that the players points be docked if they do execute the enemy.
Didn't even get a chance to mention how goddamn PERFECT Thomas Jane is for the voice. I mean, fuck man, he does a better job here than the movie by a mile
Hey man! Have you ever heard of Urban Chaos : Riot Response? It was really well known here in the UK and i remember being a real hidden gem, maybe you could look into it. (Nice vid btw)
I've watched a couple of videos now and I'm glad I stumbled across your channel! This game was alot of fun in my childhood. I played it with my best friend when we were like 13/14. The gore and brutally is crazy in this game!
Here's a badass kill move if you didn't know: When in Slaughtermode simply jump towards an enemy and Frank'll dive on the enemy's body, continuing his carnage as the enemy lies dead upon his feet. Badass and very fluent.
He'd probably end up hating them to be honest. I like Piranha Bytes' games enough I guess but Gothic 3 in particular pressed every button to piss me off because constantly getting stunlocked to death was fun.
So the reason points are deducted for using those and fucking up is because the esrb dident want it saying torture is good or so volition said in a stream
Glad you got around to this game. I feel it was a great game that I didn't appreciate until I was older. They don't make 'em like this anymore. And that fight with the Russian was AWESOME.
@ Gggmanlives - It does. However, you can only purchase it through digital download. In fact, Amazon actually had it up at one point, but it's unavailable right now for some oddball reason. I'm sure there's someplace you can find it. Check up on Amazon from time to time in case it becomes available again.
best part is its UNRATED on PC. Not the rated shit for ps2.
6 років тому+1
The PC version is actually more censored than the PS2 version. It was only a few years ago that full decensorship (adding in the executions removed from the PS2 version) was done.
Hands down, without a doubt my absolute favorite video game from when I was a kid. It was literally absurd how many hours I would play that game. Also, the first game I ever beat hardest difficulty on, so it will always have a special place in my heart
I remember when I was like 9, I used to play this game so much on my old xbox. I'm glad to see you're reviewing this game. I have so many good memories of this game.
Wow I'm glad to see this game getting some UA-cam review love. I've held onto my Xbox disc of it for years (play it on my 360 from time to time). It's really an underrated game. Certainly isn't a 5/5 title, but for a game staring The Punisher it's pretty dead on. Here's something you might be interested in: A majority of the plot toward the beginning to the middle of the game follows the Marvel Knights comic story arc Welcome Back Frank (which was also borrowed from for the Thomas Jane movie) penned by Garth Ennis. That coffin scene you mentioned liking so much is right out of it. The look of the Punisher in this is heavily based off Steve Dillon's art in many issues of the comic. Maybe slightly beefed up, but it's clear from the two loose strands of hair over his forehead and the permanent near-snarl on his face. ...Yeah, I might be a huge Punisher fan.
The relationship to Max Payne seems to work like Indy and Lara: - Indiana Jones movies inspire Tomb Raider game - Tomb Raider game inspires Indiana Jones And The Infernal Machine game
The Punisher remade, in a fully utilized Cryengine 5. With full on featured gore & mutilation. This game will sell like hotcakes. Also use the Max Payne Bullet-time mechanic, to further enhance the gameplay. Every one would profit, from this project. The Publisher, the Franchise Holder, and the Consumer. A triple win win win situation...
Tom Jane was great as the punisher, his voice is superb. Playing this game with a controller is actually more immersive. The sticks and triggers on the controller make the interrogations more intense and as though the act is a fine balancing act of control and aggression. Hands down STILL one of my favorite comic book games. How about the darkness games?
This game is a cult classic, people who played it do this day rank it as one the coolest 3rd person shooters. Hulk ultimate destruction is another one. Mad props for reviewing it!
my buddies and I played the hell out of this game when it came out. We used to take turns playing cause it was so entertaining to watch. Awesome to see it reviewed so many years later.
There was a scene in a Garth Ennis written, Steve Dillon illustrated Punisher comic where he got in a shoot out with a mafia suit in a morgue. Castle held up a fat corpse as a shield. The suit chose a skinny one saying two can play that game. Castle kills the suit by shooting through the skinny corpse quipping rule one of the game is choosing a fat human shield. I guess the game developers took that advice to heart. My recollection of the scene may be imperfect but that was definitely the gist of it.
BTW this was a sequel for the punisher from 2004 cuz Howard saint's son survived the bomb blast from the movie and Thomas Jane who played the punisher voiced him in the game as well just wanted to everyone to know
The Punisher is one of the few games to be a perfect adaptation of the character, and also, imo, the best and most faithful representation of Frank in any media yet. He is a tactical genius and brutal, unstoppable killing machine, not the sensitive and effeminate cuckboy Thomas Jane and then the hysterical and un-tactical Jon Bernthal.
Gggmanlives yeah, it's a pretty good game, but could use some tweaking like points being earned instead of taken when executing the guys with the interrogation method or choosing a quick kill so you don't waste ammo or grenades just because Franks feels like, or making the boss battles a little less akward specially the Gnucci mansion one. As a side note i reccomend the auto shotgun or the shotgun for the Igor mission.
So glad you played the demo. Its crazy how the FCP pretty much scrapped half of the game. I bought the game and was extremely disappointed but the demo is one of the craziest and goriest games i ever played.
I LOVED this game back in the day!!! One of the best Marvel games ever made, for sure!! It's a shame that it isn't available on Steam or GOG, and an original copy is expensive AF here in my country, too. BTW, great review!!!
Just found your channel and youre reviewing all of my favorite games from back in the day. Did you ever cover The Getaway and The Getaway 2? Phenomenal games.
One of my favorite shooters of all time! The interrogation mechanic is so much fun and I never gave a toss about the point system, so "failing" the interrogations was so much fun.
"It's your funeral!" Where do I start? I first played this game when I was about 12 on ps2 and last time in 2020 at the age of 23. I remember sitting down as a kid with fresh made onion rings,big glass of soda and just playing it for hours. It was a huge nostalgia trip replaying it decade later. It had good ammount of levels and just running around and leaving havoc behind was so much fun. My favorite interrogetions were those on Zoo level. You had option to feed your enemies to pirahnas, throw them into tank with electric eels and even push the guy inside the rhino cage where he would get impaled(by far my favorite). I highly reccomend this game and I think I will give it another go soon.
Hey Gggman! I saw you a few times at Dwterminator's channel but never watched your videos extensively, but in the last few weeks I watched almost all your videos:) Quality content! I would have a review suggestion. Tresspasser ( or Jurassic Park Tresspasser) Its a first person shooter, it had a pretty robist physics systemfor 1998 and it was sort of open world with no hud. Sadly i t was pretty bad but would like to hear your opinion about it some day :) Have a good day Sonny Jim!
I remember finding this game in a bargain bin at one of those random stores that kinda sell a little bit of everything. It was odd finding it in the bargain bin since it was recently released a few weeks ago. I asked my mom to if I could get it, she was hesitant at first, seeing the pic of frank castle with a rifle and shit. As soon as I got home I loaded it up and oh man did I love this game.
Drawing the punisher logo all over my desk and filling my textbooks with drawings of those "advanced interrogation techniques" really helped teachers like me in grade school
I don't know if this was mentioned elsewhere, but the demo for this game that came with Official Xbox Magazine awarded points for killing after getting information from an interrogation. It was changed because the initial cut of this game got an AO rating. Magazine articles from the time said that the uncut version exists, but it would probably never see the light of day.
For the main menu issue, right click on the executable, properties, compatibility, and select override dpi scaling performed by application. The can fix a lot of those issues when you run a game at a different resolution
Still got my pc copy that came with 3cds around. Simple yet faithful adaption of the character, it's one of the best punisher games (not that there's a lot of them, but still) Great review and I kind of expected you to review it in a positive way :D
This is definitely my favorite game based in a Disney character.
And based on what Disney stated one involving the Alien movies, It's not hard to see that.
ali abdullah, lol how is punisher a Disney character?
Is it because Disney bought marvel?
Netflix got the rights on the daredevil universe, that includes the punisher, lol
no Disney does own all of Marvel now technically, Netflix just makes the shows.
Please, never ever call Frank a Disney character. They own the rights but he will always be Marvel.
FUCK DISNEY
Fat people taking more damage before dying is actually accurate. In an issue of The Punisher Warzone, Frank had a shootout in a morgue with a hood. Frank picked up a fat cadaver to use as a body shield, and the hood picked up a skinny one. The bullets passed right through the skinny cadaver and Frank's reply was, "And that's why you never hide behind a skinny guy."
So the mechanic IS canon.
Makes sense.
was actually on The Marvel Knights run
it also makes sense if you think about a ballistics gel that is thicker or wider than a standard one:
it has more volume to stop more bullets
They really nailed the Punisher in this game...like Punisher Max series came to life.
Domagoj Primorac the games story was written by Garth Ennis himself :D
That's because Garth Ennis wrote the story
@David Davidson Thug: NO MORE TORTURE!
Punisher: No more torture.
*Punisher kills thug
Only without the writers needless mean spirited jabs at superheroes. Or his crude sense lf humor.
I felt like it was more Punisher War Journal inspired. The inner monologue Frank has, his armory descriptions were very reminiscent.
Please review Scarface: The World Is Yours !
I also just want to say thank you, your videos are awesome! I’ve been binge watching a bunch of your reviews of PS2 games, the nostalgia is real! Your reviews of modern games are great too. Please keep it up, you’re doing great work!
Jay Cartere what an awesome game! Did it come out for PC!? I want to play this gem again
Yes it is out for PC
The PC version was a mess because compatibility issues, amazing game regardless that.
Fk yes! Will try to find it thanks
Thanks, bro!
Those flashbacks are the only collectibles in this game (I think) , also Frank has different replies to them, for example if you get the "I'll go straight, I promise!" flashback and you decide to kill the guy Frank will say "Bones, promises, both break." BUT if you knock the guy out (yes you can do that by pressing N when you are holding them as human shields) Frank will say "Keep that promise."
That's cool!
And a little South Park reference "Oh no, they've killed Kenji!"
Weren't the weapons collectables as well? Thought you had to find them to use them
I remember one where the guy says he's gonna be a daddy and if you spare him the punisher says be a good one
I know that sometimes Frank has multiple replies for the same flashbacks. For instance, when the one that says “You’re gonna burn in Hell”, as Frank does the execution, I’ve heard him say “I’ve been there, and now I’m back.” And I’ve heard him also say “You first.”

Uh, Dolph Lundgren is the real Punisher. Kids today.

Money.
@@GenosectKingRevived Well, he did say he had hairs on his chest as a 12 year old, maybe he had a five-o'clock shadow too.

And this is certainly a fun one.

Shin Computer-Monster It'd be really cool if rockstar picked up the licensing, they already have decent shooting mechanics and they've done torture gameplay
Im pretty sure its all A.OKAY, actually.
HOWEVER, I dont see one coming out NOW, but down the later years

Rockstar cant buy the license, its up to TAKE TWO cause they own rockstar as a parent company
This is the opportune time for games like that though. Controversy sells. Hatred was a shitty game but they turned a profit off that because controversy
Garth, that was a haiku
What? It was made by Volition??
o.O
How did I miss that??
The shooting is the same as in Saints Row, at least the first ones.
Even the car models are the same as the ones used in SR1&2
Specifically the trucks and the little sedans
There's a kid in my school who dresses like punisher.
He told me to not go to school tomorow.
Psycho Named Jerry uh oh
Psycho Named Jerry why not?
Psycho Named Jerry you sure that kid wasn’t you?
[PUMPED UP KICKS INTENSIFIES]
If that's the case, you should probably listen to him.
I love it when these superhero games take creative liberty’s with their story and gameplay.
Perhaps the only thing better than your modern game reviews: your classic game reviews !
Thanks for these videos GGG
Easily one of my favorite games on the ps2. Also played it to death on PC with the gore mod. Thomas Jane was super underrated :D
Nabil Ahmed thomas jane voices the protag colton white in GUN made by neversoft back in 05.
Played that too. Great game. Have you tried Timesplitters Future Imperfect?
Nabil Ahmed TimeSplitters is fucking amazing. It's sad seeing how new generations of consoles ruined FPS games. Especially after games like TimeSplitters or Darkwatch on PS2.
Dude there is a gameshark / codebreaker to unsensor the ps2 version
Do Freedom Fighter man its was an awesome game.
Fuck, I still religiously play it every year.
Now I have to install it all over again.
Sooo underrated. It runs at 720p on the original Xbox! Smooth, simple and satisfying.
One of the best games

How have I never known this existed? Punisher is the best marvel character
ÆnimaNerd Surrealist deadpool is a similar character, but the humor in Deadpool is more obnoxious, far less dark, far less funny, and far less dry.
For the double fan service there is a short serie called "Deadpool VS Punisher"
Actually, Deadpool can walk those lines of being a comedic character, and, yes, being a serious character.
(Depending on writer, ofcourse.)
A quality magenta chicken mask Less dark? Um....you are aware that actaul deadpool isn't memey right
Deadpool is for edgy white boys.
$100? Damn, I just went to Pirate bay and downloaded it
I am a man of culture, I 3D printed the game's disk
First Last show off
The PS2/Xbox versions aren't that expensive though.
SolarstrikeVG only paid $10 for my copy on og Xbox
Ozone did you see The Beast of Pirates Bay?😉
Love your videos mate, your content is always top notch! I am eagerly anticipating a video on Timesplitters Future Perfect one day!
I played this game back on xbox original. Was great fun
It was a great system, might start collecting for it tbh.
Multiplat games were just so much better on xbox than ps2 and GC. It was like going from console to PC late last gen.
I grew up reading Punisher comics, and this game and the Thomas Jane movie were the most faithful to the character. Still probably in my top five favorite games
ITS THE PUNISHER !!!
I swear we need another game of this tnh Mafia 3 even gave me some The Punisher feelings with the revenge story and some brutal kills..
That's what I thought, that Mafia 3 felt like an open world Punisher game with watered down combat though.
Fuck Mafia 3, that game is a piece of shit.
@@Yes_Fantasy_419 nah, it was alright.
*_I remember 'The Punisher' was a throw away Iron Man villain. So much so that Stan Lee, gave his name away for a new comic book series series called "The Punisher". Lol._*
He started as Fantastic 4 villain, he was robot that worked for Galactus, but later on was reprogammed to figth Iron Man.
*_Why are you talking in italicized bold?_*
Actually, after that the name was given to a spider man villain who then got his own comic book
I though he was a Spider-Man villain first then got his won comic
Gonna get this and try it out! Your reviews have pointed me to some really good games, so thanks for that.
Thomas Jane reprising his role in this game really helps make it, the guy has such a good voice for a character like this. He was pretty damn great in The Expanse as well.
Thomas Jane is awesome but I also think John bernthal does an awesome punisher
love ur reviews cuz u actually look at older titles that i can actually run on my potato
Don’t know if anyone’s said this, but the reasons why you’re punished for executions if because of the ESRB. They said that the interrogation scenes were too graphic, and that they needed to make the scenes black and white and that the players points be docked if they do execute the enemy.
i fucking loved that game, so much fun, so glad youre reviewing it
Mimou kouidri agreed
Hot damn I loved this game. And the fact that Thomas Jane, the actor who played the Punisher, did the voice acting here was a really nice touch
whenever i see your video in my sub box i know it's going to be a good day..
Didn't even get a chance to mention how goddamn PERFECT Thomas Jane is for the voice. I mean, fuck man, he does a better job here than the movie by a mile
"If you mess them up."

Nope, it looks like rubbish.

I've watched a couple of videos now and I'm glad I stumbled across your channel! This game was alot of fun in my childhood. I played it with my best friend when we were like 13/14. The gore and brutally is crazy in this game!
What if the punisher was some bdsm comic instead of a marvel badass?
Taylor Wilmes ew
still better than 50 shades of bs
Kinky
The manga verse punisher would punish criminals by spanking them or tickling. (They wasted a badass idea with this one)
Taylor Wilmes I think that was the 2049 one.
Imagine that game made by Rocksteady.
Good God, I can see it now. A dark narrative,ass-kicking mechanics, and great atmosphere to spare. I'd buy that for $1k.
Press e to counter.
Yeah it would suck
Omg
All superhero games should be made by Rocksteady.
For me, this game is perfect. It's my guilty pleasure I mastered 100% all challenges, passes all the levels without getting hit.
WillPalacioArt and me. Played it hundreds of times. Even when I completed everything I still played it again lol
Here's a badass kill move if you didn't know: When in Slaughtermode simply jump towards an enemy and Frank'll dive on the enemy's body, continuing his carnage as the enemy lies dead upon his feet. Badass and very fluent.
please review the gothic series
superreuben14 he doesnt do RPG, but yeah that was very interesting series.
he did system shock 2 and fallout new vegas.
Dreadnought both were first person perspective. Gothic 2 has first person camera button but thats more of a gimmick.
I think he achieved the Patreon goal for reviewing 3rd person games. He's done Max Payne and RE series in the past as well.
He'd probably end up hating them to be honest. I like Piranha Bytes' games enough I guess but Gothic 3 in particular pressed every button to piss me off because constantly getting stunlocked to death was fun.
My brother and I still sometimes quote The Russian from this game: "Bullets are like mosquitoes to The Russian"
So the reason points are deducted for using those and fucking up is because the esrb dident want it saying torture is good or so volition said in a stream
Cristalveil
Man, that sucks.
It's The Punisher though, not Superman.
Why couldn't they just have killing someone in the tourture just not affect your score positively or negatively?
Clashman The Third probably because the esrb said so they dident go in depth about it on stream it's just what I know
I played this game over and over. Just loved racking up the combos. Great shooting, great levels, great kill zones, just a great game.
Total overdose ?
Radoslav Smilkin that one needs a review
Never played it myself but people always told me it's great.
I'm surprised, no one I knew even heard of it.
I loved that game when I was in middle school.
DarkStarAngelo
Yeah it's a fun game the only bad thing is the useless open world
is boring af
Glad you got around to this game. I feel it was a great game that I didn't appreciate until I was older. They don't make 'em like this anymore. And that fight with the Russian was AWESOME.

Interesting game, hope they port it to PS4 with trophies. Looks like a lot of fun to play unlike most games in 2017.
Wow I'm glad to see this game getting some UA-cam review love. I've held onto my Xbox disc of it for years (play it on my 360 from time to time). It's really an underrated game. Certainly isn't a 5/5 title, but for a game staring The Punisher it's pretty dead on. Here's something you might be interested in:
A majority of the plot toward the beginning to the middle of the game follows the Marvel Knights comic story arc Welcome Back Frank (which was also borrowed from for the Thomas Jane movie) penned by Garth Ennis. That coffin scene you mentioned liking so much is right out of it.
The look of the Punisher in this is heavily based off Steve Dillon's art in many issues of the comic. Maybe slightly beefed up, but it's clear from the two loose strands of hair over his forehead and the permanent near-snarl on his face.
...Yeah, I might be a huge Punisher fan.
The relationship to Max Payne seems to work like Indy and Lara:
- Indiana Jones movies inspire Tomb Raider game
- Tomb Raider game inspires Indiana Jones And The Infernal Machine game
The Punisher remade, in a fully utilized Cryengine 5. With full on featured gore & mutilation.
This game will sell like hotcakes. Also use the Max Payne Bullet-time mechanic, to further enhance the gameplay.
Every one would profit, from this project. The Publisher, the Franchise Holder, and the Consumer. A triple win win win situation...
review hidden and dangerous 2 please. Hidden gem.
I love how Volition brought the throwing human shield mechanic back in Saints Row 2 (yep, this game was made by the guys who made Saints Row)
I think you forgot to mention the upgrade system.
Tom Jane was great as the punisher, his voice is superb.
Playing this game with a controller is actually more immersive. The sticks and triggers on the controller make the interrogations more intense and as though the act is a fine balancing act of control and aggression.
Hands down STILL one of my favorite comic book games.
How about the darkness games?
Now comes punisher no mercy...... Right?
If there's a magic way to somehow buy it, sure.
ah that game was pointless.
Would've liked to play that dumpster fire, too bad it's gone forever just like the amazing Scott pilgrim game
This game is a cult classic, people who played it do this day rank it as one the coolest 3rd person shooters. Hulk ultimate destruction is another one. Mad props for reviewing it!
On the subject of mods, i still think you should give MetaDoom a chance, at least for the concept and the effort put into some areas.
my buddies and I played the hell out of this game when it came out. We used to take turns playing cause it was so entertaining to watch. Awesome to see it reviewed so many years later.
Are you going to review BloodGDX?
Probably not.
That's a shame, because AFAIK it's the next best thing we have to a proper source port, and you're easily the best FPS reviewer on YT ;)
I played this game so much as a kid - like an obsessive amount... I would LOVE to either see a remaster or a reimagining of this game
Play hidden and dangerous 2
It’s crazy that Thomas Jane didn’t play a great Frank Castle in the screen, but he definitely nailed the voice.
Isn’t it Martin Soap? You said John.
I'm anticipating that Manhunt review.
There was a scene in a Garth Ennis written, Steve Dillon illustrated Punisher comic where he got in a shoot out with a mafia suit in a morgue. Castle held up a fat corpse as a shield. The suit chose a skinny one saying two can play that game. Castle kills the suit by shooting through the skinny corpse quipping rule one of the game is choosing a fat human shield. I guess the game developers took that advice to heart. My recollection of the scene may be imperfect but that was definitely the gist of it.
Can you use a controller?
I don't think so.
BTW this was a sequel for the punisher from 2004 cuz Howard saint's son survived the bomb blast from the movie and Thomas Jane who played the punisher voiced him in the game as well just wanted to everyone to know
The Punisher is one of the few games to be a perfect adaptation of the character, and also, imo, the best and most faithful representation of Frank in any media yet. He is a tactical genius and brutal, unstoppable killing machine, not the sensitive and effeminate cuckboy Thomas Jane and then the hysterical and un-tactical Jon Bernthal.
I liked Bernthal in the Daredevil series, but in his own series he was horrible. Not his fault, just bad writing.
Thomas Jane the actor who played Frank Castle in The Punisher (2004) also voiced the game character.
This game could use some modding.
Nah it looks and runs fine.
Gggmanlives yeah, it's a pretty good game, but could use some tweaking like points being earned instead of taken when executing the guys with the interrogation method or choosing a quick kill so you don't waste ammo or grenades just because Franks feels like, or making the boss battles a little less akward specially the Gnucci mansion one.
As a side note i reccomend the auto shotgun or the shotgun for the Igor mission.
So glad you played the demo. Its crazy how the FCP pretty much scrapped half of the game. I bought the game and was extremely disappointed but the demo is one of the craziest and goriest games i ever played.
You paid over a hundred dollars for the game? Considering that the money isn't going to the developer anymore, that seems unnecessary.
I wanted a physical copy of it.
And it's soooooo worth it
I LOVED this game back in the day!!! One of the best Marvel games ever made, for sure!!
It's a shame that it isn't available on Steam or GOG, and an original copy is expensive AF here in my country, too. BTW, great review!!!
Русское посольство для тех, кто от Мэда:
The Punisher is basically Max Payne and Manhunt fused together.
Just found your channel and youre reviewing all of my favorite games from back in the day. Did you ever cover The Getaway and The Getaway 2? Phenomenal games.
I didn’t, but I’ve been working on the getaway!
Your review titles are perfectly chosen ones. from soldier of fortune to manhunt. Very awesome channel, continue your nice and bloody work!
One of my favorite shooters of all time! The interrogation mechanic is so much fun and I never gave a toss about the point system, so "failing" the interrogations was so much fun.
Great review as always! I suggest you to review Armed and Dangerous, was my favorite third person shooter when i was young
"It's your funeral!"
Where do I start? I first played this game when I was about 12 on ps2 and last time in 2020 at the age of 23. I remember sitting down as a kid with fresh made onion rings,big glass of soda and just playing it for hours. It was a huge nostalgia trip replaying it decade later. It had good ammount of levels and just running around and leaving havoc behind was so much fun. My favorite interrogetions were those on Zoo level. You had option to feed your enemies to pirahnas, throw them into tank with electric eels and even push the guy inside the rhino cage where he would get impaled(by far my favorite). I highly reccomend this game and I think I will give it another go soon.
This game blew my mind when I played it as a kid, still hasn't been topped in its level of violence.
I assume you haven't played Soldier of Fortune, Postal 2 or Manhunt then.
Or any of the new Mortal Kombat games or (forgive me for this) Hatred.
0:44 - Just remember good old Nick Fury. Press F to him.
We need a new Punisher game
Hey Gggman! I saw you a few times at Dwterminator's channel but never watched your videos extensively, but in the last few weeks I watched almost all your videos:) Quality content!
I would have a review suggestion. Tresspasser ( or Jurassic Park Tresspasser) Its a first person shooter, it had a pretty robist physics systemfor 1998 and it was sort of open world with no hud. Sadly i t was pretty bad but would like to hear your opinion about it some day :) Have a good day Sonny Jim!
I grew up playing this game! It's truly a classic, and I'm glad you reviewed it!
It's worth a mention that Thomas Jane, the actor who played The Punisher in the 2004 movie, voices him here as well.
I remember finding this game in a bargain bin at one of those random stores that kinda sell a little bit of everything. It was odd finding it in the bargain bin since it was recently released a few weeks ago. I asked my mom to if I could get it, she was hesitant at first, seeing the pic of frank castle with a rifle and shit. As soon as I got home I loaded it up and oh man did I love this game.
lol, you are lucky the box art was so pc
Me and my cousin must have cleared this game 50times when we were kids due to all the brutal kills..
Loved this review really nostalgic for me
That game is amazingly underappreciated. Played it a lot in my teenage years.
Drawing the punisher logo all over my desk and filling my textbooks with drawings of those "advanced interrogation techniques" really helped teachers like me in grade school
I don't know if this was mentioned elsewhere, but the demo for this game that came with Official Xbox Magazine awarded points for killing after getting information from an interrogation. It was changed because the initial cut of this game got an AO rating. Magazine articles from the time said that the uncut version exists, but it would probably never see the light of day.
For the main menu issue, right click on the executable, properties, compatibility, and select override dpi scaling performed by application. The can fix a lot of those issues when you run a game at a different resolution
I'll try that next time, thanks!
Still got my pc copy that came with 3cds around. Simple yet faithful adaption of the character, it's one of the best punisher games (not that there's a lot of them, but still) Great review and I kind of expected you to review it in a positive way :D
Would you consider reviewing Dirty Bomb once 1.0 releases? I think it comes out the first half of this year
