The Big Apple is rotten to the core. Take a big bite.

<span class="bold">Beat Cop</span>, a retro-styled, nonlinear adventure about beating the odds and perils of 80's Brooklyn, is now available for pre-order, DRM-free on GOG.com, with a 10% pre-order discount!

From NY detective to traffic warden, it's a long way to fall. And Jack Kelly didn't exactly land on his feet, either. With the false murder accusations ruining both his life and career, his only ticket to a decent existence is working the mean Brooklyn streets while looking for the real culprits.

The 10% discount will last until the game's release on March 30.

almabrds: The game title is disgusting.
But the trailer made me curious about it, perhaps I'll buy it.
Who knows, maybe it's a good game with awful name, like N64 Banjo-Kazooie.
No offense, but your English is. From Urban Dictionary:A beat cop is a police officer who walks, rides, cycles, or drives in a specific neighborhood, known as a “beat.”

That must be cultural.

Up here "beat cop" is a common term for any policeman on patrol and "beat" is the term for where he or she is patrolling.

He's 'walking a beat'. He's a 'beat cop'. It's not considered sick or offensive.

"I'm a cop, and this is my beat, downtown Detroit." Stuff like that.

NINJAD!

And by someone who is much more eloquent than myself. :P

I like your definition. And I don't like "outraged" reactions of people who can't even check. These days whatever you do someone is gonna be "triggered".

Of course, right now I'm playing "Party Hard", a game that rewards you for blowing up the police. :P

Actually later on, you get to go on rampages AS the police, but that's OT here.

Why? The way I understand it it's a play on words: you're a beat cop (=an officer who patrols a certain territory and develops ties with the local community) who's also been "beat" by life, as in disgraced for a crime he didn't commit.

I find the title rather clever, actually.

Smannesman: Could be interesting, but I'm so tired of this "retro-styled" BS.
Same here. Thought the concept could be interesting, but the style is heavily overused in my opinion.

I'm not. But you sure wish I was triggered, don't you?

Instead of assuming things, you could've asked me why I think the title is awful.
Instead, you decided to question my intelligence. How mature you are, sir.
maladr0Id was polite, you could learn a thing or two with him.

It has nothing to do with my knowledge of the language. I dislike the title because it's so generic to add the word 'Cop', in a game where they appear. And not just for video games, in other medias, as well.
An excellent movie about a NY cop is called 'Serpico'. There's no excuse to lazily throw a 'cop' in the name, even if the protagonist is one. Serpico, the Cop (1973). No, just no.

Feel free to disagree, but be respectful, ok? It's my opinion.

Thanks.
