 Released in 2004, Hellforces is one of the best FPS games made in Russia. Russia is not Ukraine.  So, here's its Motherland cover. Behold.  This is the first title to use the engine that later went on to star in such glorious games as Stalin's Subway and Dusk-12. 01.  Trinity sunglasses.02.  Just playing rap.03.  Eat me.04.  Rocket science.05.  The whips are missing.06.  Master of Souls.07.  Indiana Jones & The Load of Bollocks.08.  The brightest sewer.09.  Gamma correction.10.  The hell...

I remember the cover (the Russian one). Never played the game, thankfully. The 10 year old me knew better. In case anyone's wondering, the blue blurb says that the game is copy-protected and that the key is on the disc's front side. Fun fact: the legal copies of the games in Russia mostly had StarForce. It sucked. No idea what this one had, but I don't care either.

Another fun fact: the guy who voiced the main character here also voiced the tutorial (and maybe Medivh, but I could be mistaken here) in Warcraft 3. This fact makes me sad, because... ...the voice acting in the Russian version of Warcraft 3 is superior to that of other versions. All of them. And most games, period. We're talking at least Deux Ex: HR levels of good. The guy does not deserve this awkward-rear end dialogue (the English subtitles do not reflect the full extent of how lovely it is).

This is... this is a game, yes. That's about as far as I've gotten so far. This seems like one of those games that isn't really anything. It just is. Though I do have to point out that I had a little chuckle at the picture of a bird amidst all the pictures of models. You've always got that one co-worker that doesn't get with the program.

Gah, that nightvision is murder on the senses. The double-jump grunt is quality, though. Huh-HUH! Huh-HUH! It's like an aborted Beavis & Butthead chuckle, repeated ad nauseam.

So many first person shooter cardinal sins in just the first few levels alone. I can't wait to see how this unfolds.

Congrats on choosing to LP Russian Postal. I tend not to like Let's Plays of first person shooters, but the Vivisector LP is one of my personal favorites and this thing's already shaping up to be the same sort of inexplicable whatever-the-gently caress.

following the stalin subway thread gives me mixed feelings about this LP that game blurs the lines between the slow motion train-collison transit authority and the bullet induced rage-vomit Bureau with the facile efficiency of a drunken politburo vice secretary this is to say: it is a hot goddam mess that i can't steal my eyes from, so I can only assume this will be the hottest of messes edit: ARRGGH (-2 health) euuuugh (-3 health) euueeeeh (-3) edit2: whoa ten rounds to kill basic zombie heh enemies barely filch or move, even hit with a lead pipe oh christ shooting yourself does the most damage out of anything  one zombie model has an exposed spine which is clearly just reinforced rebaredit3: oh god that night vision, I didn't listen, I didn't know okay last one but what the hell is a first-aid outfit? skullhead tethyis fucked around with this message at 06:04 on Apr 30, 2016 |

The boss told everyone to bring in a poster of their favorite chick, one man misunderstood. Please explain to me what those metal teeth have to do with Dracula and how they heal you. Does he use them to eat corpses? And why the horrendous matrix reference? Double jumping?? Cyber cops? zombie dogs that attack zombies? Weapons that are all carbon copies of each other? After Vivisector it is funny to see the developers have a different part of the body that will come off for each zombie model. Mister Geist? Is he a Russian goth, his wit is sensational.

The way that SM was talking about it I knew that they were going to gently caress it up somehow, but I think I assumed that the boombox (canonically, "the silver tape recorder") would just not play any music at all. When the music started and it was the wrong genre, I was even more confused.

You are empty is beautiful compared to this. I will give the game credit, it is trying to keep things interesting by changing things up every level. We had apartments, sewers, gardens, half life dungeon, catacombs, and now thug life. Its just a shame they failed to produce a single decent section so far.

I love every bad fps from east europe because no matter how bad it is, they still manage to give their games soul and some weird form of charm which puts them ahead of our own bad fps industry that churns out another army mans shooter in the meantime With that being said, this game puts my patience for zombie killing to a hard test

If you want games that get bleakness right, go East.

Really enjoying this... whatever this is. Can you somehow give a warning in the videos or something before you use the 'nightvision' or something though? It's literally nauseating.

I do wonder at this point if we are ever going to see demons in this game called Hellforces. (Apart from the robodog) They were seriously thinking of licensing their engine to other companies? And they couldn't even be assed to fix the lighting or the bullet trajectories.

The weapons really do look like cheap B-movie props. And the sound effects, it sounds like the rocket launcher is a nerf gun with a busted spring when you load the rockets in the backflaps. A shame that under more oppressive times the ruskies managed to produce perhaps their finest game - Tetris, and now the industry is mostly relegated to this kind of stuff.
