FearfulSymmetry: I'm actually sort of tempted to get Fahrenheit just to see it explode. Somehow the fact that everyone's saying it's terrible kind of makes me want to try it. :P

As for Spectre: I saw it a week ago or so and quite enjoyed it, it was a good film.
Maybe that is Crow's plan, trick us all into wanting to play it. :-)

CarrionCrow: Evidently, part of being a vampire is having your breasts constantly assaulted by their own miniature gravity fields at all times. Who knew?
So that is is. :-)

But seriously, who decides to implement jiggle technology? It is the kind of thing a 13 year old boy would think of, not a fully grown adult. :-)

ddickinson: I think that is why I can enjoy some b-movies more than big hollywood movies. B-movies don't pretend to be anything other than silly fun, but the hollywood ones always pretend to be something deep and meaningful, when most of the time it is crap.

That game would be fun, especially seeing the guys reactions when they defend the same games but with women eye candy in them.

Hmmm. I can tolerate nonsense sometimes. I hate quick-time events most of the time. Not a big fan of absurd health mechanics, or awful stealth. I hate sex scenes for no reason, that always annoys me, especially in good games that could have told the story without the compulsory nudity or sex scene that does not seem natural or is just thrown in your face. I mean I get it, who doesn't like eye candy, but I get a game for a game, not for eye candy. To be honest, I want to try Fahrenheit just to see how bad it is. I doubt I would play much of it before stopping. I think there is only one game on GOG so far that I just stopped playing as I did not really like the game and that was Mousecraft.
Yes, the double standard would be hilarious to witness.

There are two key things to Fahrenheit -

1. David Cage is a hack.
2. David Cage is stuck up his own ass so hard, he's essentially cleaved out a summer home in his own colon.

Put those two things together, and hey look, trainwreck.

Well i guess the developers wanted to please their target audience :)

I have heard of David Cage, but I don't know too much about him. He seemed to be the usual smug guy who thinks his works are so deep and emotional, but are just overrated and horrible for the most part.

Think that started heavily around the days of Dead or Alive, with female fighters whose chests were apparently so embarrassed to be there that they tried to leap in all directions to escape, regardless of whether the character was moving in the same direction or not.

I have Bloodrayne beaten, though. I saw jiggle physics at work recently, and where did I see it?
Braveland Pirate. It was one of those things you can't unsee once you notice it. The game's rehashed up to its eyeballs, but someone thought it was important enough to add the jiggle to a female character class when they jump around on the battlefield.

I guess so, but do teenage boys have much money to buy games? :-)

Pretty much. Only, since he's doing the godsawful stuff in video games rather than movies, some people think he actually has some degree of quality to his work. -shakes head-

Don't know...but i guess so because they can apparently afford buying the newest CoD-iteration every year....

k thanks for checking guys. I'm on 41.0a2 (aurora/developer edition) and I can't do anything by pressing back but holding it down and selecting a page does work. didn't think of that.

doesn't work on 44.0a2 (current) either, but at least the UI responds like I clicked the button. seems a bit more likely that it's not a bug and is that intentional back-ignoring that some pages annoyingly do.

-laughs- That's just a happy side effect. Bitch of it is, I still need to run through it before I add it to the dead pile.
Oh boy, am I ever looking forward to that...

Braveland Pirate has jiggle physics? I could understand a game like Leisure Suit Larry using it, but in most games it looks cheap and out of place. You guys do know there is free porn on the internet, don't you? You don't need to spoil games with all this childish stuff. :-)

I guess some use it to be more realistic?

Stilton: Are there any GOG games that are so bad you have to play them, as opposed to just plain bad?
avatar
CarrionCrow: The ones for that would be bad games with a history to them...
It's like Slender. You played it, and it was shit...
Master of Orion 3, Leisure Suit Larry Magna Cum Laude, Ultima 9...
Anomaly Defenders...
Then you've got your overblown, overhyped shitpiles like Daikatana and Fahrenheit...
You can also go with titles like Earthworm Jim 3D or Simon the Sorcerer 3D...
For sanity's sake, this is a can of worms I'm going to leave closed. It could spread like a voracious and unpleasant rash...

Although it reminds me of some (most) of Michael Winner's films. The hits got swamped by the misses just after the start and the pile just kept growing. They're still marginally entertaining and infinitely preferable to dealing with visits from the in-laws, but they aren't much use for anything else.

Well if I did not already own it I would not care about trying it, and it is definitely not a high priority game for me. But some day I will give it a try.

Yes same here....

I guess David Cage needs some writers (as in someone who can actually write a game properly) who can influence him...maybe that might make his future games less awful....i mean i like the premises but the executions......
bloodrayne was a good game. in bloodrayne 2 the only thing going for it was the jiggle physics. my third time through that game which was a playthrough last year or earlier this year or so, I finally had enough mastery of that game to be able to play it halfway sensibly with that jankcity camera and movement system, without resorting to just idiot button feed mashing.
