"imagine if Jessica Rabbit got mixed with a porno star" excuse me, sonny, we don't need redundancy here.

That 5 second intro sequence was definetly important in this game.

I clicked cause of thumbnail, won’t lie.

02:43 I love how John's notes has a little addendum about how he'd still do Sinclaire... All of us mate, all of us...

Ggman: "The game has a good soundtrack" Also Ggman: Cuts to machine gun firing sounds

"How Detroit is portrayed in robocop" So Detroit?

I'm still bummed out to this day Sin Episodes was never completed. I was considering a replay of that just a few days ago. MSG:V did adaptive difficulty decently; use snipers to much they get helmets,etc.

"Imagine if Jessica Rabbit got mixed with a pornostar" Do you really need to imagine for that?

Ah, Elexis Sinclaire. The reason for many a boys latex fetish to this day.

Haven't watched yet but came here to say, as a SiN fan for half my life, thanks for looking at this game again and giving it some attention in modern times! Everything is getting remastered or remade, yet SiN is left in the dust... and I know it's because of how it sold and the Mumbo Jumbo acquisition, but still... holding out hope.

**Three seconds into the video** "Oh my..."

23:37 The moment that you've been waiting for

Sinclaire is basically Dark Queen from Battletoads. A stereotype I welcome.

main thing I remember about Sin Episodes was Bianca Beauchamp cosplaying Elexis Sinclair at E3 as part of the advertising...That was nice.

"along with his partner JC" Take that UNA...I mean SINtek

I remember an arcade near me had two arcade cabinets next to each other linked together to play Sin Deathmatch. Nowhere else have I seen or heard of this. It was amazing. Edit: actually I remember 2 sets now. There was one that was fast pace and you could look everywhere. Then they replaced those two with another two that were still sin but you could only look left and right. I was disappointed with that decision.

Big ups for commissioning a cool thumbnail instead of just having it be something dumb and generic like a lot of other channels.

There was also a bizarre anime film adaptation/sequel to SiN that carried a much darker, bleaker tone and had a different voice cast. John Blade is like a completely different character in it despite looking the same.

My friend had this game. I spent the night at his house and once everyone went to sleep I spanked off all over a towel in his computer room to the villain. Oh no not the lady, the mutated guy in the pink pin stripes.

"imagine if Jessica Rabbit got mixed with a porno star" - Laughs in SFM

Hey, it's the game that features the really good pistol/handgun that ISN'T Halo: Combat Evolved!

Thank you SO much for giving SiN so much love in your videos! Didn't expect to get a brand new look at this classic today so that really made my day. Ritual Entertainment are the unsung fallen heroes of classic FPS if you ask me. What's really interesting too is that if you look back at their build of Condition Zero (Deleted Scenes), there are a TON of similarities to SiN that just have their fingerprints all over it. For instance, in Thin Ice you take on a fighter jet shooting RPGs at you just like at the end of Emergence. The final chapter, "Rise Hard", takes place in an office building and rooftops, also like the end of Emergence. CZ Deleted Scenes is unpolished and literally unfinished thanks to Valve's strict deadlines, but I think it's a hidden gem despite its flaws thanks to some really exciting gunplay and varied environments, something you previously commented on in your CZ video. Less known is that the game has a hidden difficulty where if you put "Skill 0" into the console, the damage you take from enemy fire is roughly on par with in actual CS 1.6-- it's a huge challenge but I love playing this mode. I dream of Ritual coming back, but I doubt that could ever happen. They suffered the fate of being swallowed up by a casual gaming company. Oh, the humanity!

_"MAKE SURE TO KILL ME, BLADE!"_

You know I really hope they'll make sin 2 one day, have it set in between wages of sin and episodes and try and explain what happened between the two. Also my favourite part is when the weird sewer mutant cult leader tells his followers "you were not meant to watch Cable TV and Gameshows!"

"Make sure to make it look like an accident, Blade!"

"Then you're moving through the sewers..." *ding!*

"You like my jetpack BLADE!"

Civvie, Mandalore and Gmanlives all post at the same time.. What a blessed day!

24:05 what's funny is they had two models cosplay in latex as Elexis and Jessica Cannon for E3 2006, and Jessica's model had a tramp stamp lol

When I lived in Kaiserslautern Germany back in the 90's, I used to run a PC gaming club. We would LAN this game (real LAN; not what folks call LAN today) and play this game beyond all redemption. There was a map where everyone was miniaturized in this room with with giant bookcases, chairs, tables, etc. We would play that map for hours on end. This brought back some great memories.

Half Life: Exists Reviewers to SiN, Shogo and Quake 2: I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that.

Bro, I'm so glad you reviewed this game again. I remember playing this game over and over as a twelve-year-old. It was like a next-gen type step up for me back then, like Allied Assault felt back in the day.

That “questionable taste in art” is absolutely a reference to A Clockwork Orange.

14:36 they even explained why there's no bathroom breaks, my man's wearing a diaper!

I remember my computer struggling to render the helicopter fight scene with my Diamond Voodoo2 expansion board.

Hey, love your reviews of old games, very informative. Thanks to you I discovered lots of good games nobody talks about now!

I'm so glad you covered Sin Episodes. I actually enjoyed this back in the day, after I finished Half Life 2 of course.

That intro. The great Anti Simp *edit* Oh this game looks interesting. Story wise kinda meh looking but gameplay looks cool

Gman... 23:42, from one Black brotha to an Australian brotha.... you're a man after my own heart. Those words are music to my ears. I love me some ass.

i love your videos gman. my appreciation for old school fps' has gone way up cause of your videos. keep the great content coming!

That Sin Episodes difficulty bug was legendary. I did manage to finish it eventually, by save-scumming. What a grind.

Everytime I get a new GPU I always go back to Sin Episode and see how much nicer the opening looks lol it was a ritual going back to my first proper gaming rig and getting Steam for the first time

Brings back memories of having to get a CD with the patch direct from the company or whoever to fix load times in the game originally. Back when the game was released i had dial up and just downloading 100mb was trouble. Disconnections etc.

Great Vid. I loved Q2 and Sin. It was a time when you could see things changing with fps games and my intro to Lan parties and multiplayer. Great days and memories :)

The thumbnail art is simply gorgeous

My man keep doing these re reviews, i cant tell you how many badass old reviews i listen to on your page and are too short. But above 20min reviews!? Thats my shit right there. You did it with vampire the masquerade, and half life opposing force, keep it up!

The pistol just looks like it belongs in a 2003 game, quality wise

Great review! This is one of my favorite review channels, keep it up! I can’t even remember whether or not I played this game. I might grab a copy and try it out. I mean, I’m playing Bloodrayne now so I may as well stay in the early 2000’s.

Not playing this game is a *sin* hahahahhaha End me please

Thank you, MilaTheMute for the beautiful thumbnail art as always! 🤟🏻

Sin Episodes had a lot of promise., and for what it was... it was good. The issue was that unfortunately Episode 1 was so insanely pirated, that it literally bankrupt Ritual. Thus we never saw another Episode released. It's not quite the same as Valve, who have more than enough funds and staff to produce HL Episode 3... they just haven't., because they've decided to "Diversify" into half a dozen other projects and again not really keep any of them alive either.

JC's name came from the relatively unknown John Carmack.

SIN was the first game that I can remember where headshots were thing

Ha, I just replayed through SiN last week on a whim. It really struck me how good the soundtrack was, particularly the industrial track from that city chase onward. And it does have one of my favorite video game quotes, right from the start of the game: "Nice shooting, Tex. That billboard ain't getting up."

So you, mandalore and civvie uploading at the same day. this is a good day.

"Dont forget to loot my corpse BLAAADE" - Some skinny elf looking dude

👍 for the thumbnail. Ah, Elexis Sinclaire. I remember the secret "Rub-a-dub-dub" scene, and the way to expectate it on more free form options. All this so ahead of SFM.

Sin feels like Resident Evil up to 11 in a Sci-fi universe from the way you describe it.

“Don’t forget to loot my corpse, BLADE.” -James willams

I miss when instruction booklets were made to look like they belonged in the games lore, like a Journal or like a Manual on how to operate a spaceship, stuff like that.

Really a nice touch to commission a thumbnail for the review.

Back then, those graphics were cutting edge lol

I started playing this again with the Sin Gold release. You're pretty much on point here. Some areas needed more polish and balancing but the game overall is really fun.

Sin and 'No-one lives forever' were amazing additions to the genre, I always think about re-visiting those two.

Elexis may be super sexualized but the fact that she's the main villain and a leader is really cool and not usual in games. I also love the fact that she uses her apeal to manipulate and distract. xD We so often get super sexy women in games that just are there to look pretty but she is actually a woman with more power than perhaps anyone else in this game. I dig it. Kind of like how Bayonetta uses her sexuality to display her power over others.

If there’s one game that needs a remake, it’s this

Am kinda surprised to see you doing a re-review BUT it is SIN and that smooth Aussie accent dose it eveytime 😂👌

Best "OPENING" sequence to a gman video to date.

2:00 JC Denton! In da fresh!

Speaking of narrative driven levels in old games. I think the first star wars dark forces is over looked as an early game with a narrative to the levels. At least it's the oldest shooter I've played were I felt I was playing a story rather than just a series of levels.

I grew up and played this game. Nobody I knew had heard of this game. So glad to see someone give it a modern review.

I've already played through the whole series whenever a new entry came out, starting with the original back in 1998 when I was a mere lad, and I don't regret it one bit. It's good to see SiN still receive some attention after 2 decades. There even was an OVA if I recall correctly, John Blade as an anime character basically.

Imagine rebooting SiN and bringing back Elexis in this day and age; people would go ballistic. A shame no one is interested in bringing sexy back, pardon the pun.

"There's just something about combat in an office building that's just always enjoyable." It's getting to live out the fantasy of coming to work and going buck wild with a machine gun. I assume, at least. I've never worked in an office environment.

I love SiN. The demo for it was one of the first FPS games I ever played. Unfortunately, it took forever to load on my first system and I didn't know to invert the mouse control, so when it started, I couldn't hit anything. Because of the long load time, I never tried it again and just kind of forgot about it. Years later, I decided to try the demo again on a much faster system and was surprised that the load times weren't that long at all. With the controls properly configured, I thought it was great and bought a used copy the moment I saw it at EB Games. I did have a few glitches in the game (a room filled with water, a scrambled guard tower, points in the game that would create corrupt saves), but it was a lot of fun. I never played SiN Episodes. I remember when it came out, I publicly said that it was a bad idea and probably would never get finished. The only thing I was wrong about was the reason for that. I figured that the company would lose interest or claim that they didn't sell well enough to continue the series. Turns out that Ritual got bought out by another company, which caused them to scrap all their current projects. Another reason I dislike episodic games is that I like to be able to play through the entire game start to finish, rather than feel like I'm playing unconnected levels.

SiN was awesome. Pood my pants when I first encountered the subway mutant

"Check his ovaries!"

John Blade was pretty fun, too bad he'll never come back.

I remember finding out about Sin when I realized how awesome this game was and dope the weapons graphics and how ahead of it time it was when it came out I instantly loved it

Liking the fresh video thumbnails brotha

can you make a review of delta force? it was also a forgotten game from 1998

10:51 after getting baptized

SiN actually has a movie that came out in 2000. I thought it was pretty solid as a kid.

This pulled some nostalgia for me, might take up this again.

I remember playing the living shit out of this game when it came out as a demo on a disc with one of the local gaming magazines.

JC? OH NO IT'S A BOMB!

one of most memorable games.hope a good remake or reboot will come

Civvie and Gman uploads omg this will be a good day

“I’ll get you, BLADE!”

SiN has been criminally underrated for years. It’s one of the best FPS ever and had amazing death match mechanics. It’s also the only FPS I was good enough at to talk shit and back it up lol. Used to play on PC Games and PC Gamers magazine servers daily.

I do remember throwing DOS commands into those computer terminals. That level of interactivity really stood out for me at the time and, over 20 years later, I still haven't seen it get matched. Deus Ex games came closest, but not quite there for me.

The assault rifle looked like a goddamn power drill. It's the one thing, along with the exploding dove, that I remember.

Damn, I thought jak 2 was the cutoff for... Immersive 3d graphics

Cool. Been waiting for this since i saw your tweet.

"A bullseye's tattoo around her mouth" THAT WAS GOLD!!! 🤣

God damn i remember watching Inside Gaming do this playthrough and the laughs it brought. Now i want to find this gem.

Sees Sin, Elexis? Clicks.

Ok, so I'm now wondering if Gmanlives prefers Forest Gump or Pulp Fiction? :D

Loved this game! I remember if you activated no clip mode you could find the main villain in the jacuzzi nude.

Showing at begining of video Half-Life without HD textures, you are true man of the culture👍
