Yeah, that looks totally Garys Mod.

Why yes, I am playing Red Faction: Armageddon. Much much better than expected, but still a huge bummer if you go in expecting Red Faction : Guerilla part 2.

I think I convinced my friend to buy Skate 3 after sharing that video w/ him over the weekend.

cwkiii, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 18:24 (eleven years ago) link

xp the prospect is just too sad. Guerilla was wonderfully smashy.

Nhex, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 18:28 (eleven years ago) link

well theres still plenty of smashy, the magnet gun in particular is v v satisfying and is working with some pretty impressive behind the scenes physics and mass calculations. the big issue is that its very linear, and the destructo is less fun in the underground crawl sections (although not always!)

O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten), Wednesday, 29 August 2012 18:39 (eleven years ago) link

feels weirdly dead spacey in some ways? also, if you see a mech, use it. plz note: i would be less happy with this if i had not picked it up for $5 at the pawn shop

O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten), Wednesday, 29 August 2012 18:40 (eleven years ago) link

word, word

Nhex, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 18:43 (eleven years ago) link

I bought Skate 3 on Monday. It's awesome but I haven't had any cool glitches.

EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 18:56 (eleven years ago) link

I just enjoyed a nice, long bout of Skate 3 video induced laughter. Thank you so much for that gift.

Bought Duke Nukem Forever off Amazon for £2 today. genuinely so excited to play this.

Blue Collar Retail Assistant (Dwight Yorke), Thursday, 30 August 2012 23:45 (eleven years ago) link

omg just bought Deadly Premonition

zappi, Friday, 31 August 2012 17:47 (eleven years ago) link

You are in for such a treat

O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten), Friday, 31 August 2012 19:27 (eleven years ago) link

this game is fucking terrible

Blue Collar Retail Assistant (Dwight Yorke), Monday, 3 September 2012 00:25 (eleven years ago) link

jjj, your obvious love for deadly prem has finally convinced me to order it.

Mordy, Monday, 3 September 2012 00:34 (eleven years ago) link

yeah, that's a great article and summary, to the point where i do not feel the need to actually play the game. go HG101!

one year passes...

Ride to hell: retribution just dropped to $10 used at my local gamestop, so it's on

ACA: not bad, needs more death panels (jjjusten), Friday, 11 October 2013 06:03 (ten years ago) link

Admittedly this feels like less of a good idea now that I am not drunk and it isn't the middle of the night, but now I feel like I have locked in my commitment to the cause.

ACA: not bad, needs more death panels (jjjusten), Friday, 11 October 2013 18:37 (ten years ago) link

lol

Bitch Fantastic (DJP), Friday, 11 October 2013 18:40 (ten years ago) link

btw I think someone has rounded up and burned every existing copy of Nier, I can't find it anywhere

Bitch Fantastic (DJP), Friday, 11 October 2013 18:40 (ten years ago) link

i would watch a jjj let's play of daikatana

Mordy , Friday, 11 October 2013 19:12 (ten years ago) link

You know, the Game of Thrones game is in this week's humble bundle.

JimD, Friday, 11 October 2013 22:41 (ten years ago) link

i heard it's actually not as bad as they say

Nhex, Friday, 11 October 2013 23:52 (ten years ago) link

Oh man I hit the motherlode

Ride to hell
Darkness 2
Afro samurai
Homefront
The saboteur (this is not terrible but nobody cared abt it and now I have it for ps3)

ACA: not bad, needs more death panels (jjjusten), Saturday, 12 October 2013 01:33 (ten years ago) link

Ok so the big plus to buying terrible games on ps3 is no one bothers to make you download any updates because no one gives a shit. Coming for you ride to hell.

ACA: not bad, needs more death panels (jjjusten), Saturday, 12 October 2013 05:04 (ten years ago) link

Wow even the start screen looks like low res garbage

ACA: not bad, needs more death panels (jjjusten), Saturday, 12 October 2013 05:05 (ten years ago) link

Oh
My
God

ACA: not bad, needs more death panels (jjjusten), Saturday, 12 October 2013 05:08 (ten years ago) link

This is worth the $8 already just due to the insane senseless intro and shock inducingly terrible mind blowing script. Like srsly magic stupid oh man I am going to love this game.

ACA: not bad, needs more death panels (jjjusten), Saturday, 12 October 2013 05:12 (ten years ago) link

I think the controller shakes any time you are on a bike because uh motorcycle? Gameplay is super crazy terrible

ACA: not bad, needs more death panels (jjjusten), Saturday, 12 October 2013 05:20 (ten years ago) link

There is so much bad dialogue I can't even catch it all.

"You look like an old baby cow. You ever slice the ear off a baby cow? It's funny"

I shit you not.

lol I'm so glad you bumped this thread and gave me the chance to read it

Andrew Kornfan, Saturday, 12 October 2013 10:48 (ten years ago) link

the saboteur is properly great, don't put it in this cruel cruel thread :(

NI, Saturday, 12 October 2013 16:12 (ten years ago) link

oh man you have me tempted to run out and buy this right now

papa smango (fadanuf4erybody), Saturday, 12 October 2013 22:40 (ten years ago) link

saboteur was fabulous, gtfo

Euler, Saturday, 12 October 2013 22:54 (ten years ago) link

No, I know, but it was a horrendous flop. Unfairly! I think it's awesome. But it still fits my criteria.

ACA: not bad, needs more death panels (jjjusten), Sunday, 13 October 2013 06:23 (ten years ago) link

I mean BULLETSTORM is on my list but still got my number one spot that year. Deadly Premonition is also all time great. I do this out of love.

ACA: not bad, needs more death panels (jjjusten), Sunday, 13 October 2013 06:27 (ten years ago) link

Nier is the only game this gen that i've gone back and replayed (twice!), just love running around the world listening to that amazing soundtrack while the companion characters bicker behind me. Drakengard 3 is coming out in the west next year and has the same writer/director and sound team, so hopefully it retains some of the atmosphere (Nier was a spinoff from the Drakengard series after all)

( X '____' )/ (zappi), Sunday, 13 October 2013 12:16 (ten years ago) link

i keep thinking about picking up Nier

Nhex, Sunday, 13 October 2013 17:01 (ten years ago) link

Does 50 Cent: Blood on the Sands fit into this niche? the voiceovers push it into it IMO, the game itself is just totally uninspired.

Charlie Brooker is entertainingly vitriolic about that game

Neil S, Monday, 14 October 2013 13:25 (ten years ago) link

btw, Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death is a self-aware-ish budget title that looks fairly enjoyable if you are so inclined

Andrew Kornfan, Thursday, 17 October 2013 11:45 (ten years ago) link

When it hits a budget price I think I'll bite on Dragon's Crown

Nhex, Thursday, 17 October 2013 16:19 (ten years ago) link

Ha, Ride to Hell dropped to $10 at BestBuy. I'm really tempted to get it from jjjusten's review here but... i've probably got enough legitimately good games in the backlog that it would be unwise

Nhex, Tuesday, 22 October 2013 03:37 (ten years ago) link

Love this review

jjjjusten if you like bad games and you don't have even a mid-level PC that can run garbage from 2006ish then you're missin out.

Andrew Kornfan, Saturday, 12 April 2014 04:05 (ten years ago) link

I know! Curse of Mac owner. And it's a shitty "old" mac, but that still means nothing came out for it ever.

Ohhhhh yeah, grabbed Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard for 90 cents on that recent flash sale, let's get stupid

I kept seeing these two Skylight games (for Vita) pop up in PSN sales and became curious enough to look into them. And, well...holy jesus:

You dishonor your ancestors with your emoji abstention (Old Lunch), Monday, 12 February 2018 16:07 (six years ago) link

Just to be clear, these are pretty much brand new games and not something someone made for their high school computer class in 1996.

Ah ha ha ha. Just saw that this is currently on clearance sale in the PSN store and came here to post a gameplay vid, totally forgetting that I'd already ragged on this irredeemable POS. Thanks for saving me some work, Younger Lunch.

Ah heck, why not another, it's pretty funny to hear the reviewer get pissy about trying to 'play' the godforsaken thing

Why have more than 1,000 of my bucks disappearded? (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 6 February 2019 00:42 (five years ago) link

To be clear, someone is responsible for making three entire games that look/play like this.
