Seems like it should be. Hick! 

I couldn't play SOF cos of the kills... Always preferred the decidedly unreal worlds of Doom and DNF. Jesus Doom 1 was amazing.

I believe its an outlet for our seriously fucked natures.

It's a bloody funny thing alright. I reckon the phenomena is very similar to swearing... so maybe we can solve that one first :) 

It seems to have as much depth as a puddle.

I tend to drop games pretty quickly if they can't hold my interest. Others, I'll play ad-infinitum if they can.

The central design seems to be chase people around spraying bullets, probably with the occasional opposition that will throw a few back your way. Top down games are all about behaviour patterns, the more you have, the better the game.

A top down game can also be polished, well balanced, look nice and so on, but if you're light on behavior types then that's your watermark of how engaging your game can be - no higher.

In the video a grand total of 1 is shown as far as I can see. And after you spend your budget on execution cinematics, there's not going to be much time for polish either. 

I think we are on the same page :)

I was trying to say the lack of depth might come about because of the central concept and so the two are linked, in response to your initial post that you didnt like the trailer because it looked 'boring' as opposed to 'disgusting'. 

Sorry but http://cursors.io/ (don't click if you don't have an hour or maybe even two) 

Didn't read any posts, but "whatever" is a fairly generous reply to the trailer, even "meh" is a more passionate response than I actually feel.

As an Englishman, and a scholar.

Ohterwise, it's LOL. 

I still don't get how you can have a single person writing and scoring a game on big sites like IGN. Everyone has different preferences. 

 

Who gives a piece of flying monkey poop? Just don't follow reviews of him if you disagree. Subjective reviews are awesome. 

To the violence debate:

That's the same level of selective and opinionated rubbish like Sarkeesian's though. 

Does it matter that much anymore? With metacritic, it's easier to see a single review relative to everything else. 

You see what you want to see. 

Her cleavage was insignificant though.

I mean, exactly, that's the sad thing about videos like that. 

 

Seems its on sale. Thoughts? Worth ?

I came by to check out some worthy games... 

Sounds interesting, installing it now.

...they want their graphics back. 

I think your memory of Hexen 2 may be a little rose colored. 

I'd say rose tinted, but online it seems coloured (or colored) is more common. 

This is what hexen2 looks like: http://www.quakewiki.net/archives/cronos/hexen02.jpg 

I tried it a bit, but the gameplay felt quite flat. You pretty much just spend your time circle strafing around groups of mobs, and the weapons I used didn't feel very satisfying.
Kind of reminded me stuff Dungeon Defenders or Orcs Must Die, but without the Tower Defense aspect.
