Downtempo Grooves with Rogue Warrior

Hip-hop!

Having just watched this mind-blowing YouTube clip of Mickey Rourke soundbites set to music that plays over the end credits for Rogue Warrior, Jeff is currently in a dead sprint to the closest game shop to pick up a copy. Me, I'm just speechless. No words. No words to describe it. Poetry! They should've sent a poet.

This game is really atrocious. The kill moves are pretty sweet, but they exist inside a game that looks, feels and sounds like it belongs on the PS2.

Wo that's bad, if they were to do a quick look of this, they may aswell finish it, because they'll be near the end.

Dood...greatest song EVER WRITTEN! 
 
Maybe it's the way the beat sounds like "Feels Good To Be A Gangsta" by Geto Boys with Mickey Rourke's badassery all over the thing!

Wait a sec, if this is a 3 hour game with this amount voicework from Mr Rourke, is there any time for kickass action? You won't fool me! This must be an adventure game with foul language. Pretty innovative!

  "  With a B.A. in International Relations from the Navy Post Graduate School in Monterey, California, and a M.A. in Political Science from Auburn University, Marcinko brings to the private sector the same skill, dedication and enthusiasm that earned him 34 citations and medals, including the Legion of Merit, the Silver Star and four Bronze Stars."   - http://www.navyseals.com/richard-marcinko

Hey ryan,
 
Did you by any chance just saw Contact?
Or does this piece of copy/paste music just  reminds you of that universal moment?

While I can appreciate the comedy value of getting an A list celebrity to do a song like this, I have to object towards why it's considered acceptable 'bad assery' for the writers at Rebellion to include homophobic insults for Rourke to spout along with the rest of his soundbite tirade.
 
You don't see far better characters like Cpt. Price, Snake or Fisher going around calling people cocksuckers as a derogatory term while breaking necks. Did they really think that makes Marcinko 'edgy'? While they're at it, how about some racial slurs and demeaning women for the sequel. I hear that shit's really trendy too.

Of course, as embellished as Marcinko's personality may have become, he's an actual person - unlike Price, Snake, or Fisher. And as offended as I often am at racist or homosexual slurs, I'm not sure what you're talking about. I just listened to the entire three minute clip and never heard one homophobic slur in the entire thing, unless my ears are failing on me already.

Wow. So was this edited like that or is this really what happens in the end credits? It's kind of hard to figure out based on what the article says.

The first thing said is "soundbites over the end game credits" so that would lead me to believe you know, that it was edited.

@Branthog: I think what he's saying is that calling someone a cocksucker as an insult is implying that they are gay and they give blowjobs. It's homophobic because it implies that dudes giving blowjobs is a bad thing. 
 
I don't really agree with him completely. I agree that homophobia is bad, but I'm pretty sure a girl would be just as offended, if not more so, if you called her a cocksucker, and in that case there's no homosexuality implied.

@Scrawnto: Yeah, except the notion that the word "cocksucker" is some deep homophobic insult is a weird bit of political correctness. 
 
He also says "moron" and "motherfucker". I doubt he's trying to insult the mentally challenged or victims of incest. 
 
Sometimes a curse is just a curse and you shouldn't try to read too much into it.

Except for this is exactly how the song appears in the end credits. The soundbites are part of the song. Maybe save the snark for times when you're actually right!

Don't blame me for a poorly written sentence. It's clear from my statement that I was basing it off of what GB wrote. I also never said I was completely right. I said "that would lead me to believe" . . .which clearly shows that I was leaving it open to the possibility that I could be wrong.
 
Maybe you should L2R yourself.

Lol poor Rebellion, they used to be so good. On the other hand my love for the new AvP game will increase tenfold if the Predator leaps around the place calling everyone cocksuckers, triply so if the alien does the same.

No, asshole. I claim that my "condescending tone" (which I didn't see as really condescending) was due to the inability of the poster to read the first sentence. 
 
How was I suppose to know that the sentence ended up being written in a misleading way? As I already pointed out, my comment was based on the assumption that the sentence was correct AND I also left room for the possibility that I could be wrong.  
 
But yet again, if you had even the smallest sibilance of being about to comprehend we wouldn't be going over this yet again.
