In it, players assume the role of Joseph Turok, a former member of Wolf Pack now working with Whiskey Company on an important mission to capture Wolf Pack's leader and bring him back to Earth. Also, it's got dinosaurs in it. DISCLAIMER: Turok is presented entirely without the aid of subtitles. My comrades and I did our best to avoid talking over important dialogue, but there's a fair amount of mid-mission chatter that we didn't see coming. Once the LP is finished, I'll be uploading a "Theater Mode" video with all of the cutscenes strung together. I'm Phenwah, joined as always by Lobst and DemoWeasel. Welcome to Turok!

I remember rarely using guns in this game, and instead going with the knife for most of it unless I couldn't get to them. It was pretty satisfying taking out dinos with the combat knife.

Oh hey, I remember hearing about this back when it came out. It's already proving entertainingly bad, some real peak mid-2000s FPS stuff right here.

Wow. They were really trying to emulate Aliens with that cryogenics opening scene along with the cro-magnon character design of Gears of War, weren't they? Although the idea of people being frozen in that type of combat gear seems... strangely hilarious to me for some reason? Edit: Holy Hell the cutscenes are TERRIBLY directed. Turok and Caine were within kissing distance and when that soldier came to strike him they were suddenly four feet away? And, to continue with them ripping off Aliens wholesale, I'm pretty sure that siren that's sounding when the ship is crashed is from Alien. Edit Edit: Holy God, do you not see what the ammo count in the magazine of your guns is?! Samovar fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Feb 17, 2016 |

I think that first fight against the tiny dinos was the developers aiming for the " you only see the rustling grass as the monsters in it close in on you" without realizing how goddamn annoying that can be in a FPS. Also Slade is not Ron Perlman? drat that guy does a good impression then.

As this is a CCC LP, I was wondering what sort of inevitable ridiculousness would come up. Then you QTE-killed thirteen small raptors in one spot. I counted. In fact, I'm just gonna keep keep counting the QTE kills: 17 small raptors, 7 large raptors, and 1 helghast.

There's a "Turok: Son of stone" animated movie, although I now don't completely remember how I came upon it or watched it. There's only a stub for it on imdb with a rating of 6 something, but I think I quite enjoyed it, even though I've never read the comics, and it seemed to be another variation on the Lost World.

It looked like we got an answer to Demoweasel's question about enemies reacting to leg shots. During the first excruciating elevator sequence, a guy got knee-capped and it made him take a knee for a moment, then he popped right back up and kept firing and strafing like nothing had happened

The overall unremarkability of this game so far is almost impressive. At least the grenade pistol seems good, and the chain dinosaur stabbing is what it is. I think the failure-to-stab moments actually make those funnier. Large man chasing birds and Helghast going IMMAGETCHA Speaking of which: 1 small raptor, 2 large raptors, 6 Helghast Total: 18 small raptors, 9 large raptors, 7 Helghast

Did this game really have a white guy shame Turok about not being proud of his heritage by not being interested in using a composite bow in the age of loving Space Marines? Is this the reason why Turok left Wolf Pack? Because he couldn't go 5 minutes without Grunge Colonel Kurtz never loving shutting up about knowing apparently everything about the tribe he comes from? "Turok, you should be more open to an all protein diet because your ancestors were totally into Buffalo meat like the kind I've synthesized here in our star trek vending machine." "Turok, you should be accustomed to wearing this headdress that I've bought off of Space E-Bay for you." Crabtree fucked around with this message at 07:35 on Feb 25, 2016 |

Happy to finally see the only Turok game I haven't played yet. I heard it was pretty much knife everything forever but god drat. It actually looks less fun to play than evolution. This seems really easy to get lost in. PSWII60 fucked around with this message at 11:34 on Feb 25, 2016 |

I do have to wonder where this game was made. Not because there's something that seems off about this game but because I'm pretty sure wasting Ron Perlman like this is illegal in most countries recognized by the UN.

Which was the Turok game with the cyborg Confederate soldier? Because 'cyborg Confederate soldier tries to kill Native American' is a thing that happened in a reasonably modern game.

Why is Turok having such a hard time holding a compound bow drawn? It's one of the advantages with a compound bow, once you fully draw it, the draw weight becomes much lower. Or maybe some genius designed the pulleys so that fully drawn actually maximizes the draw weight? Anyway, I think that if you have shooter with dinosaurs, all you really need is for the shooting to be good, both when fighting humans and dinosaurs. You don't need to try too hard with the dialogs.

You know what gets me? The fact that ammo pick-ups don't make a noise. Every shooter since bleedin' Wolfenstein has had a noise to go with an ammo pick-up. Seeing 'you picked up some ammo' is really... weird by itself. Edit: Ohhh. NOW I see how the 'ammo counter' works, at least on the SMG. Although, the fact that the arrows are numbered then makes it all seem pointless. Samovar fucked around with this message at 21:12 on Feb 25, 2016 |

PSWII60 posted:That's Turok Evolution. The Confederate soldier in question was Captain Tobias Bruckner:  Tal'set cuts his arm off and kicks his rear end all the way to the Lost Land. However, that's where Brucker gets a robot arm:  In the final encounter, he rides around on a Rocket-Launcher-Flame-Thrower-TRex and you kill him by dropping trees on him (Tal'set is such a badass that he can cut them down in a single axe stroke). Too bad its absurdity couldn't save Turok: Evolution from being pretty boring.
