8:35 The auto shotgun is a Pancor Jackhammer which also goes by Mk3A1. It popped up in a decent amount of games around that time since it looks cool. Was definitely in Max Payne in 2001 and in the first Far Cry in 2004. First game it appeared in was Fallout 2 in 1998. Also been in a couple Battlefield games and it was pretty fun to mess around with in BF3. Probably the most rediculous version of it is in The Darkness since for some ungodly reason it has a 64 shell capacity. It's a neat gun if not rather bulky but you can never forget the style it has. Forgotten Weapons has a nice vid about it for those wanting to learn more about it.

I was granted the request and spent my time with a dog by my side. Unfortunately not quite the same experience, but still super fun nonetheless.

Hands down one of the most underrated third person shooters ever! I've had so many hours and fond memories playing this game and used the cheats like 'gun con' and unlimited slow-mo lol. This game is a masterpiece as you said. Well done on the review 👌🏽. I wish they had a remastered version of this. Btw the KZfaq caption intereprets the character Augie Blatz as "Orgy Blitz" so there's that...

@coffeeveins 2 жыл бұрын

If they ever do a remaster, they might have to adjust the look of the lovely redhead though. While I doubt it was intentional considering how old the game is, she looks an awful lot like Felicia Day…on her poster anyway(and in this video’s thumbnail image). The pixelated 3D model coulda been Felicia Day, Emma Stone, or Lucille Ball…who knows?(Hell, it coulda been Carrot Top from what I could tell. Characters in these old games pushed hardware to it’s limits displaying the few pixels they were able to use to look like a person as it was already…and most of what they did use…well…I doubt there were many 14 year old boys exclaiming to their friends during the pole dance scene, “Wow! Look at all the detail in her…FACE!”)

I bought the Xbox version when it came out because, as an Xbox fanboy in 2002, it was a huge deal to support every exclusive and quasi-exclusive I could. So, I bought the game at full-price (minus the employee discount!) just to have an opinion about it. There's that section when you're in prison (that you discovered!) and have to bench press a whole bunch of weight to impress the other prisoners, something like that, which was the hardest thing I've probably ever had to do in a video game. I had to concoct an entirely new way to jackhammer the A button to get the weight up. My hand was so damn sore. Never did beat the game.

The cover mechanic for a third person shooter was started by Namco USA (Namco Hometek) in Dead to Rights and Killswitch. In fact epic games said Gears of Wars combat was I spired bu Killswitch.

One of my favorite games of that console generation. Mindless shooting action at a time when that was all I wanted as a teen

Dead To Rights is Awesome! Flawed in many areas but very very fun! I also love the tone and humor (both intentional and from the so bad it’s good delivery)

I absolutely love this game, everything about it. It's suppose to have that noir, yet tongue-in-cheek writing that doesn't take itself too seriously. It's a hidden relic of a by gone era in gaming.

I loved this game as a kid. Finally somebody does a video on this master piece.

Man this is a trip for me. I remember a main selling point on this game being the intense executions and overall mature content. It was going for that hyper edgy vibe at a time things when things were getting spicy (manhunt, GTA hookers, et al) I can’t remember much, but every other second I get that sweet nostalgic kick watching this vid. Nice!

I remember playing this game on the floor of an unbuilt home with my buddy whose dad had a PS2 and a tv to keep us busy while he was working. Phenomenal

The ending with the gas mask and hand to hand combat is literally the same as the ending of the jet Li game , it involves gas and a mask between you and the villain and everything, and even the protagonist is wearing similar jacket and jeans as jet Li.

Wow, you didn't mention the reality defying motorcycle jump with the airplane. That was my favorite laugh out loud moment of Dead to Rights. I never could beat it. I got to the final boss at the flaming hands stage and just couldn't win. I may have not known about the whole throw him in the furnace thing.
