The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay

by GUI

Part 1

I feel that a lot of people ignored this game because they thought it was just another shitty movie game while, in my opinion, it is a very well made game with stealth and action elements, plus some open-ended enviroments thrown in.

Before starting here's some basic garbage about the storyline:
It takes place before Pitch Black, and the epilogue after the game ends is a few seconds before The Chronicles of Riddick begins.

Riddick is basically the most wanted criminal in the universe, the game starts with him captured by Johns (his friend-enemy).

Now with that brief explanation done I guess I can finally start.

The galaxy is big indeed. :O

Meet Johns, he's talking about how Hoxie (ruler of Butcher Bay) is going to forgive him for his past screw-ups after he gives Riddick to him.

Butcher Bay is the high security prison Johns is taking Riddick to.

Meet Riddick. Try to remember what he says here until the end of this thread.

We are here at last!

I can move! Time to engage in a meaningful discussion with Johns.

All of the knowledge in the galaxy in one simple sentence.

In Butcher Bay everybody takes it up the ass.

We get ready to break Johns neck...

Johns dead on the floor. The smoke is somebody trying to grab the DNA encoded weapon and going out with a boom.

The gun turrets will become activated and start shooting, time to escape!

Smoke packs unlock extras such as Riddick movie sets pictures, novel pages, game concept art and other cool stuff.

ACT OF VIOLENCE AGAINST AN ENGINEER.

ACT OF VIOLENCE AGAINST A GUARD.

A guard arrives to investigate what's going on, but Riddick is gone, gone and above the poor bastard.

Half-Life style vent crawling.

Half-Life style health stations!

Riddick is so badass that he doesn't fear shotgun-carrying guards.

Stylish moves make guards blow their brains out.

A gun with no ammo! And an elevator which leads us to victory! Things are getting interesting.

Ammo! My murderer sense is tingling, there must be a way out in the sewers!

Riddick - Destroying FPS logic books since 2004.

Action in the sewers. This game has some great particle effects.

Rise and shine Mr. Freemaaaaaaan...

It was all a dream!

Meet your enemy.

Say hello to Hoxie, your second enemy.

And it begins!
