You look like me I build PC with ultra highend hardware to play old and retro games on monitor screens or highend tv, i love your Channel, I have a curiosity on the LG C1 48 model, if you set the resolution to 21:9 in games that have the HDR option can you use the tv at 21:9 with HDR turned on and also "gsync" turned on?

Thank you Roger for dropping by and for the kind words! 💜 Yes, when you set the resolution in 21:9, the HDR still works with adaptive sync as expected. Played Resident Evil 3 remake that way and well, it was pretty amazing. 😃

Great video! I remember playing the demo back in Fall 98, ran like dog shit on my P1 166Mhz and no hardware 3d accelerator! Are you using some kind of visual mods? Or just he resolution fix/edit tool? The effects and lighting look enhanced...is it?

I made the mistake of playing on hard mode after coming back to this game after a decade or so, and I had to give up in Andoria. Playing a third person shooter with no ammo just isn't fun; maybe I'll try it again after I beat it on normal.

When I played this as a kid, I found this complicated and in awe as to how much realistic chorvus seemed and moved. How he jumped and scary the first level seemed with their cries of children in the background. Moving later chorvus felt like a beast as he got powerful. Good ol days man.

Fantastic review and yeaps loved this game and still lov'n it I bought it on the day it came out, currently I am doing a replay of this game with my 1999 high end Retro gaming/workstation PC which is this beautiful setup! -------------------------------- Nighthawk AMD Athlon Thunderbird 700Mhz Slot A 3x 256MB PC-133 Legend / Hynix @ PC-100 MSI MS-6195 AMD Irongate AM751 Chipset 3dfx Voodoo3 3500 TV AGP 16MB Rev.A 3199 (Eur PAL variant, mint in box) Vantec Cooling Spectrum Slot cooler card for V3 3500 Samsung 3.5" FDD Drive 1x 40GB Seagate Barracuda V 7200 rpm HDD Main drive 1x 80GB Seagate Barracuda V 7200 rpm HDD Main drive LG 40x/16X CD/DVD RW Drive NEC 5 port USB 2.0 PCI Card + Front Panel 3 in PCI Card 2 in Front Panel 3-Com 3C 905C 10/100Mbit Ethernet PCI Card Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS SB0350 2002 A-Open H-600-B ATX Case A-Open 350 Watt PSU or equivalent.

For it's time it was a very strange change as I am more of a first person shooter type, but even despite that this game fell very well in my games of taste. the story was really good and that helped a lot the gameplay was amazing for it's time especially being a 3rd person game, it would of been nice if they added a first person mode so the player could choose what mode to use, then again due to the weapons used staff like weapons 3r d person does make sense. Loved the music as well, it was a wonderful package, the royal palace maps are also very eye catching, so yea for it's time this game was quite the mind blowing title. But hey man I loved this review you made of this epic game from 1998, it surely gave me similar memories you mentioned likewise.

Good review! Just beat it. Thanks for showing the manual as I was able to read the lore behind the game by pausing the video. Hard to find any scanned images of the manual on line. You are right it’s one of the games that you would want to play from the late 90s. Saw the amazing screenshots from the advertisement in Gaming magazines from the 90s. Played it with the latest patch and updates that the community made for the 25th Anniversary. Game looks amazing with the particle effects and the lighting for its time. Probably the second best looking game from 1998 after Unreal. Great level design to boot too. Glad finally finished after first starting it in 2005.

Regarding difficulty, the ammo starvation issue was actually only introduced in Raven's 1.06 patch. Before that, enemies on hard mode had the same health as normal mode. However, you can still play the pre-patched difficulty by launching the game with the console command "-skill 2". Which I would highly recommend for future playthroughs.
